A fragment of the Moon was sent to orbit the Earth via airfreight courier. During its year-long journey, at a rate of approximately twice the speed of our Moon, it travelled the Earth 30 times in an anticlockwise direction. The lunar meteorite was tracked and visualised in relation to the user’s location, the Moon’s location and the orbits of the other planets in our solar system.
