From The Ashes - Helios Rises - a photo on Flickriver

One great ball of fire displayed in a building engulfed by fire ten years ago .
This is the sculpture " Helios " by Luke Jerram being displayed for a few days at Clandon Park House which was engulfed by fire in April 2015 . This is just one of many locations that Helios can be viewed and at Clandon this is the first time the building has been open to the public I believe - although as the place is still a building site visitors are very limited to 20 at a time by advanced ticket only . And of course , everyone visiting has to have a hard hat , hi-viz waistcoat , goggles and gloves !!!
A link to a BBC news report can be seen here with some news footage videos within the report ---

Helios itself is a seven metre globe of the sun based on some 400,000 photos .
The sun has inspired people throughout history as a symbol of life, light and renewal. Combining light, sound and design to highlight the suns intricate details, Helios succeeds Luke's previous large-scale installations, Museum of the Moon and Gaia.

Each centimetre of Helios represents 2000 kilometres of the sun’s surface. It features detailed sunspots and the origins of real solar flares, while the immersive soundtrack includes NASA recordings to take you even closer to the sun.

Here is a you tube official about Helios at a previous location with an interview with Luke Jerram -
