Floating Earth

Launching its programme of celebratory events for the Eurovision Song Contest, Royal Albert Dock unveiled new installation Floating Earth by artist Luke Jerram this week.
The spectacular 10-metre globe uses detailed NASA imagery of the Earth’s surface and the dock’s water as a natural mirror to create a stunning visual effect. It will be illuminated 24 hours a day until 18 May and is best viewed from the inner quay at the docks.
