NASA Spacecraft spots ‘Star Trek’ logo on Mars

The story starts with crescent-shaped sand dunes where wind and surface interacted...

Newsroom June 14 09:28

It looks like Starfleet is literally embedded on the planet next door: A dune in the shape of the famous logo from “Star Trek” appears prominently in a new picture from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO). Even Captain Kirk himself (actor William Shatner) has weighed in.

Don’t expect to find Spock, Jean-Luc Picard or Michael Burnham squatting nearby, however. Just like the famous “face on Mars,” this Starfleet logo was produced by random chance, as wind, lava and other forces sculpted the Martian landscape.

Hey @starwars! Will you hurry up your Rebel Scums? ? We beat you! ???? https://t.co/b53KxKlAlj
