In a discovery that sent shockwaves through the cosmos, a Starfleet insignia has been found on Mars, captured by NASA’s Curiosity rover. The symbol of the United Federation of Planets was discovered by amateur astronomer Scott Atkinson, nestled among a pile of rocks on Mount Sharp (Aeolis Mons).

I bet the Star Trek fans on the @MarsCuriosity team smiled like Cheshire Cats when they saw this new image appear on their screens… :-)
