Star Trek's badges seem to have been re-created on the surface of Mars in this February 13 glimpse of sand dunes from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.
These V-shaped sand dunes, sculpted by wind, are hidden in a crater in the planet's Mawrth Vallis region. The area was once a contender for the landing site of the Curiosity rover. Possibly carved by vast, ancient floods, it offers observers a plethora of geologic puzzles along with its curious dunes.
