Mumbaikars are awestruck ever since a new moon has doubled up the charm of the city. No, not a real moon, but an equally surreal art installation which has been set on the top of Nehru Planetarium in Mumbai.

Called the Lunar Dome, the magnificent installation is a tribute to the team of Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) and their Chandrayaan missions. The installation also stands as an emblem of all the future achievements Isro has in store for the nation.

The Dome is an uncanny replica of the southern hemisphere of the moon and is created with utmost detailing. See for yourself:

The dome also boasts of details like the Tycho Crater, which is a lunar depression. With the diameter of 25.6 metres, the Lunar Dome is the biggest replica of moon ever created in India.

The beautiful installation is open for visitors from 11 am to 9.30 pm on all days of the week without any entry fee. A special viewing gallery has been setup for visitors to witness the installation in its glory. It looks extraordinary at night.

Here are some pictures of the Lunar Dome in Mumbai that will leave you amazed.
