Beam me up, Scottie!
A dune shaped like the famous Star Trek logo was just discovered by NASA on the surface of Mars, and even William Shatner (Captain Kirk) thinks it's hilarious.

"Enterprising viewers will make the discovery that these features look conspicuously like a famous logo: and you'd be right, but it's only a coincidence," NASA said.
Coincidence or not, Trekkies everywhere are loving it.

And some are going so far as to assume it's just proof their beloved characters are real.
Editor's Tip: When having photos printed, one thing that people often miss is examining the type of materials used for the print. For the highest-quality prints, ensure that the printer uses commercial-grade inks resist moisture and fading for a long-lasting, beautiful print. If you choose to have a canvas print made, ensure the printer uses fine art-grade canvas because it's more durable. Get the scoop on the best canvas print companies in this head-to-head comparison.
See? I told you. Keep the faith Trekkies! ?https://t.co/RtTf0fQWtG

What's The Real Story?
NASA's unmanned Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, which has been flying around Mars for over a decade, snapped this photo of a dune cast-a formation created by lava eruptions, wind and sand.
And it's pretty freaking cool.
