Tom Pearcy in a lunar buggy at the York Maize Maze in this photo taken on July 20, 2009. 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]
