Looks like they're in some sort of ion cloud, or nebula.

Also you can't make out the name or registry, at least in that shot. So it might not be the Discovery.
Maybe it's USS Crossfield?
 
you can see the "VERY" of discovery if you look closely.
Yeah I just noticed that as I posted.

Which can mean a few things

A) The Discovery is not destroyed between Season 2 and the next 1000 years
B) It's a replica or duplicate
C) It's an alternate timeline/universe
D) At some point Discovery gets displaced in time without its crew
E) This is all an illusion or falsehood.
 
not to get crazy bogged down in analyzing a 30 second promo for a 15 minute show, but this also caught my eye:
specifically, what's going on with that ortho of the ship? bad graphic or is the ship slightly different from what we're used to?

I think that's just the bottom of the ship, the dark area on the rear is the slope under the shuttlebay, there's just shading or lighting making it dark.

Or, just a computer glitch.
 
Well, we know it's not Time Travel since one of the Federations Time guys would have shown up to get him if it was.
 
I'm reminded of the novel "Timetrap" where Kirk is manipulated into thinking he was in the 24th century as part of a Klingon plot to get secrets from Kirk.
That or a "Mark of Gideon", where he's on a replica, made to think he's in the year 3255, as some sort of alien experiment. Of course, Kirk was in his same time period, but just thinking it's an alien-made duplicate.
