I guess Martians watch a little bit of Star Trek Discovery:

Though in this case real life is way cooler than TV

Yeah, I'd seen the article and my first thought was "Captain Georgiou needs rescuing from Mars. Nasa really need to accelerate their mission plans."

Well it kind of looks like our logo.

Did the Red Angel do it?

Looks like Georgiou and Burnham are ready to beam up.

Why hasn't there been more news coverage of this?

It takes a while, but eventually Star Trek news do spread

Cool I read about how this might have formed earlier on and that still amazes me that we got this kind of pattern.

Isn't nature amazing?

This will be debunked soon on "NASA's Unexplained Files"
They'll make up some lame cover story

And why would they debunk it?

 

[BK613]

So, does that make Mars a redshirt?

This is apparently a common formation for dunes on Mars. Also in the western Sahara on Earth. Barchan dunes. Check out this article from 2014.

That's fantastic and liked the dunes in the Sahara.

I'm joking

William Shatner and Mark Hamill going at it over the logo. Hilarious

It's a matter of perspective. While it seems amazing that Mars happens to have a Star Trek logo on it, what is truly amazing is that the inventor of the Star Trek logo happened to reproduce the Mars logo. Maybe Martians will someday file a trademark infringement lawsuit. The claim will be that Theiss used a telescope to see and then steal the insignia.

I guess Martians watch a little bit of Star Trek Discovery:

There's a delay. They are still on Enterprise, season 2.

Those poor souls. It’s going to get a bit better in couple years though.
