The Most Amazing Science Images of the Week, February 20-24, 2012

Beijing is the site of the 7th Annual International Strawberry Symposium, in a district called Changping that's apparently known for its strawberries. Here's the thing: none of us will ever be as happy as that adorable child about to do a no-hands chompdown on those strawberries.

It’s rainy/snowy/gross outside the PopSci headquarters in New York. But through the grey gloom, one little boy has given us the will to make it through the week. We call him Chomp Boy. Chomp away, Chomp Boy. You enjoy that berry. Enjoy it for all of us. As tribute, we’ve given him the prime spot in a particularly excellent roundup of the week’s most amazing images–exploding stars, x-rayed eels, and rockets screaming through the northern lights are all to come.
