Visitors to the Isle of Man have a final opportunity this weekend to experience the "Mars: From Imagination to Science" art installation. The exhibition, which began on February 7, will conclude its run on Monday at Cathedral Isle of Man in Peel. This unique display features detailed imagery of Mars sourced from NASA.

Following the success of the Mars installation, and a similar Moon display last year, plans are already in motion to bring another artwork by artist Luke Jerrum, this time depicting the Sun, to the cathedral next year.
