A giant moon has appeared in the bypass channel! 
Automatic translate
On November 2, a giant luminous moon appeared in the Bypass channel opposite Planetarium No. 1 and YotaLab.
An artificial earth satellite was mounted for the Festival of Light 2018 and will decorate the water artery of St. Petersburg for two weeks. Especially for this project, the YotaLab team has developed unique mounts and a hidden pontoon that will hold the moon in place.
The total weight of the facility is more than 1, 5 tons, diameter 6, 2 meters. In order to fix such a large-scale structure on the surface of the water, special cables were used, with which the Moon is attached to mooring rings. Special requirements for fastening are imposed by the fact that the Moon is installed on the channel, and not in a separate reservoir.
Everyone can look at the Moon, it is most convenient to do this from the Ruzovsky and Mozhaisky bridges, as well as the adjacent embankment.
