It's part of a news outreach scheme to bring younger people to church, promote the unity between science and faith.
Lichfield Cathedral in Staffordshire has revealed it will host a programme of services and events inspired by the historic space moment.
Peter Walker, the cathedral's artist in-residence, will transform the medieval building's tiled floor to look like the moon's surface this summer.
Ely Cathedral and Cambridgeshire will also be joining in with the celebrations. It's hoped the variety of events will attract youngsters to take and share pictures of some of the country's most ancient cathedrals.

"They like authentic answers."
