Combining the dazzling projections of sculptor Peter Walker with the beautiful atmospheric sounds of composer David Harper this incredible multi-layer installation is the work of award-winning artistic collaboration, Luxmuralis, the team behind Angel Wings and Peace Doves at Liverpool Cathedral.
Speaking on returning to Liverpool Cathedral with a powerful new immersive art installation, Peter Walker, artistic director of Luxmuralis, said: "Mankind has only scratched the surface of space discovery and this artwork explores the amazing wonders of the universe, capturing the excitement of what the next steps might be as we see far away galaxies emerge before us.

"Space, The Universe and Everything gives visitors the chance to lose themselves in space and time as we take them from the first step on the moon to the edge of the universe and back again in just one night.
"'It really will be an unforgettable experience."

The Dean of Liverpool, The Very Revd Dr Sue Jones, said: "As the largest cathedral in the UK and one of the biggest in the world, just being inside the building at night is an incredible experience so flooding the space with the wonders of the universe will be simply spectacular."
