An aerial view of the astronaut at York maize maze. To mark the 40th anniversary of the first Apollo Moon landings, farmer Tom Pearcy has cut a giant image of an astronaut from his field of maize. Measuring over 300m – 1000ft in length, the astronaut has been painstakingly carved out of over one million living maize plants. To launch the maze, Mr Pearcy donned an astronaut’s outfit and jumped into a replica lunar buggy. York Maze is open daily from this Saturday until September. [CFP]
