Spookiest decoration at the "Zoo Goes Boo" event at the John Ball Zoo in Grand Rapids? Giant model of parasitoid wasps hatching from cocoons affixed to their caterpillar host.

Large model of a green caterpillar, the back of which is covered by dozens of white cocoons. Wasps can be seen emerging from some of the cocoons.

The artwork shows a ceremony on a patio. There's a round pool in the center of the image and a round arch in the background. Sisters of the convent are placed in different locations performing different parts of the ritual. Half of them wear a peacock mask and half of them wear sun-like headpieces. There's a woman in the center on the horse. She wears a blue dress decorated with mosaic-like patterns. The horse is covered with blue patterns and stands still above the water. Two twins are sitting on the floor surrounded by large lilies. Behind them one sister plays a harp and another one is holding two bowls with mysterious light. There's a big mosaic tree in the background with other sisters dancing around it. There are two other sisters on top of the wall waving scarves. The artwork is mostly blue and light green

The artwork shows a wedding party. The room is decorated with tiles and patterns and has a long table in the center where the attendees of the party are seated. There are dancers in the foreground, some broken plates, bowls, bottles, apples and eggs on the floor. There is a donkey standing in the center of the room. The donkey was gifted to the wedded. There are musicians behind the dancers. One is playing a domra and another one is playing an accordion. There are dishes and bottles on the table. A child is holding a flower while eating an apple on the left side of the image. A man is giving a toast. A woman next to him is looking at the man while holding a rooster. The bride is wearing a white dress with her face covered with veil. She is holding flowers. The broom is standing next to her with a sword in one hand. Another woman is looking at a man who seems to be a little tipsy. Half of the characters are skeletons and half are humans. The artwork is mostly red, green and blue.

The image shows a scene inside an old house with two repeating characters and their story. The house is decorated with wooden patterns and has three floors with stairs leading to each floor. In the foreground the couple is hugging each other; in the middle ground the man is sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper and the woman is walking up the stairs looking at the room below. On the second room the woman is facing the direction of her partner's study. She looks frozen and is standing next to a dresser with a clock on it. On the left side the man is sitting at his desk looking behind his shoulder. On the third floor the same woman is looking in the mirror and sees her reflection as a skeleton. The artwork is decorated with patterns and tiles and is mostly mustard, brown and green.

The artwork shows a boat with travelers passing through a town. There are three people on the boat. They wear large brown hats and long robes. There are some pagodas and buildings in the background behind green mountains. There are some hills with plants and large orchids. There's a green and white heron on the left side of the image and some ducks in the water on the right side of the image. The artwork is mostly green and brown with some pops of pink color.

Mickey Mouse Spotted on Mercury! - From Goddard Space Flight Center - https://flic.kr/p/bXjnXB

NASA image acquired: June 03, 2012

This scene is to the northwest of the recently named crater Magritte, in Mercury's south. The image is not map projected; the larger crater actually sits to the north of the two smaller ones. The shadowing helps define the striking "Mickey Mouse" resemblance, created by the accumulation of craters over Mercury's long geologic history.

This image was acquired as part of MDIS's high-incidence-angle base map. The high-incidence-angle base map is a major mapping activity in MESSENGER's extended mission and complements the surface morphology base map of MESSENGER's primary mission that was acquired under generally more moderate incidence angles. High incidence angles, achieved when the Sun is near the horizon, result in long shadows that accentuate the small-scale topography of geologic features. The high-incidence-angle base map is being acquired with an average resolution of 200 meters/pixel.

The MESSENGER spacecraft is the first ever to orbit the planet Mercury, and the spacecraft's seven scientific instruments and radio science investigation are unraveling the history and evolution of the Solar System's innermost planet. Visit the Why Mercury? section of this website to learn more about the key science questions that the MESSENGER mission is addressing. During the one-year primary mission, MESSENGER acquired 88,746 images and extensive other data sets. MESSENGER is now in a yearlong extended mission, during which plans call fo...
