Lost astronomy mosaic from former Leicester subway

As many prepare to raise their eyes to the skies as part of Stargazing Live, BBC Leicester has been looking back on a lost piece of public art which celebrated the work of a 16th Century astronomer.
The mosaics were commissioned in the 1960s by Leicester City Council who asked Mansfield-born designer Sue Ridge to create a series of colourful works to adorn the walls of the Newarke Subway. These photos were taken shortly before the subway was closed.
Sue took her inspiration from the work of Danish observational astronomer Tycho Brahe. Born into nobility in 1546, Brache made a catalogue of over 1000 stars over his lifetime.
