The display comes ahead of a groundbreaking Sky 3D show charting the solar system
The solar system has been brought to life in a spectacular display over London's skyline.
The show above the Royal Greenwich Observatory was organised to promote the launch this month of Sky 3D – Europe's first 3D TV channel.Nine helium-filled "planets" up to 20ft wide were illuminated and floated above the landmark.
It recreated scenes from the 3D premiere of The Universe: 7 Wonders Of The Solar System, from History, which will screen on Sky 3D, channel 217, at 9pm on Sunday, October 24.
John Cassy, Sky 3D's channel director, said: "The phenomenal universe we live in has captured the imagination of generations for centuries and we wanted to add yet another dimension.
"It's taken a team of 17 people over 100 hours to recreate the solar system over the London skyline."
