[Solution] Spatial Relationships

This metapuzzle consists of the following image, along with the answers to the feeder puzzles: MOZART SYMPHONY, YOU ARE HERE, FIFTH GEN CONSOLE, CANDY BAR, OBERON, TRIDENT, THERMOMETER, and CARNIVOROUS PLANT.

This image suggests the planets of our solar system, moving outward. Each answer corresponds to one of the planets:

  • Mercury = THERMOMETER (Thermometers are traditionally filled with mercury.)
  • Venus = CARNIVOROUS PLANT (Venus flytrap)
  • Earth = YOU ARE HERE (Unless any aliens are solving these puzzles, in which case, welcome!)
  • Mars = CANDY BAR (Mars bar)
  • Jupiter = MOZART SYMPHONY (Mozart Symphony No. 41 is named Jupiter.)
  • Saturn = FIFTH GEN CONSOLE (the Sega Saturn)
  • Uranus = OBERON (Oberon is a moon of Uranus.)
  • Neptune = TRIDENT (The god Neptune wields a trident.)

Indexing into each answer by the number written on the planet spells out the solution, MOONSHOT (or MOON SHOT), referring to an ambitious, groundbreaking effort, such as the 1969 moon landing.
