Sculpture of a telescope at the Pier Head, Liverpool, as a tribute to Jeremiah Horrocks, the first to observe the transit of Venus. By Andy Plant. There is a hand powered mechanical orrery at the top, the position of Venus replaced by a copper angel version of Jeremiah and as his wings flap he orbits the other planets. Inside the large telescope there is a video animation of the life of Jeremiah by Tim Hunkin.
