Where no man has gone before
The city of East Peoria, Illinois, holds an annual Festival of Lights show, which this year includes a stunning light rendition of the USS Enterprise of Star Trek fame.
The Enterprise above is 57 feet long, 22 feet wide and 14 feet tall, and is illuminated with 52,000 lights.
A redditor by the name of wolfman believes this impressive light structure joined the Festival of Lights in 1989 in honor of the last Star Trek film that featured the original crew.
Many of the event's light displays, possibly including the Enterprise here, are actually floats for a parade that are on display for the rest of the Christmas season. Other nerdy sights for the show include an X-Wing from Star Wars and Batman's Batmobile.
