Second Sun located next to Wearmouth Bridge consists of an aluminium sphere featuring a lenticular screen with animated images of the sun taken from a NASA satellite. Those who study the artwork as they pass will see the sun rotate, while those who choose to stare directly at Second Sun will see it in 3D.

How does this art make you feel?
It's different! I like it. I think public art is great, like The Angel especially. It's cool. I'm not sure about it in this location though.
