Police have got into the Halloween spirit by making a "zombie cops" dance video. Wellington police do Michael Jackson's Thriller dance to Poi E.

The video features Wellington police officers performing the moves from Michael Jackson's Thriller to the music of Poi E by Patea Maori Club.

Taika Waititi was tagged in the post, in tribute to his performance of Thriller to the same song in the movie Boy.

It's not the first music video police have starred in, with the Running Man craze spreading to police around the world last year.

Discovery

16 Psyche is a large M-type asteroid, which was discovered by the Italian astronomer Annibale de Gasparis, on 17 March 1852 and named after the Greek goddess Psyche. The prefix "16" signifies that it was the sixteenth minor planet in order of discovery.

It is the largest and most massive of the M-type asteroids, and one of the dozen most massive asteroids. It has a mean diameter of approximately 220 kilometers (140 mi) and contains about one percent of the mass of the asteroid belt.
