The Dell’Osso Family Farm in Lathrop, California, is now the home of an impressive corn maze, which was created based on the NASA Kepler Telescope mission. The space observatory was created to detect extrasolar planets around a batch of around 150,000 stars in the Milky Way.

This new view of the corn field was captured from an airplane, so that the general public can get a bird's eye view of the intricate details carved into the land. The maze can be visited until October 31.

It is one of seven such Space Farms, created around the country in honor of NASA and its 50th anniversary of human spaceflight. The other mazes have different themes, all related to how the American space agency began exploring the solar system and the Universe.
