It may at first seem a highly illogical picture - but fear not, you can Klingon to the knowledge it really did come from the surface of Mars.
Nasa today revealed this amazing v-shaped dune field on Mars - which looks uncannily like the Starfleet logo from the hit TV show Star Trek.
It was spotted by Nasa's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.

It's about time Trek got recognised by the solar system - Wars has had Mimas for decades.

The appearance of Mimas in the Sol system is reminiscent of the Imperial Death Star.

Ah, sorta Death Star-ish. Except the superlaser wasn't at the equator.

It was meant to be, originally... that's why it's on the equator in the plans they show at the briefing.
