Star Trek Voyager scene. Seven of Nine (tertiary adjunct of unimatrix 01) is pictured. She has a dolphin shaped metal robotic implant around her left eye because she is a borgs. Closed caption reads, "Fun will now commence."

It's the weekend, baby

Sure, Halloween is an astronomy holiday. But astronomers always enjoy scanning the heavens for spook-tacular galaxies, stars, and nebulae. This favorite is item number 43 from the Beverly Lynds' 1962 Catalogue of Dark Nebulae, fondly known as the Cosmic Bat nebula. While its visage looks alarmingly like a scary flying mammal, Lynds Dark Nebula 43 is over 12 light-years across. Glowing with eerie light, stars are forming within the dusty interstellar molecular cloud that is dense enough to appear in silhouette against a luminous background of Milky Way stars. Watch out. This Cosmic Bat nebula is a mere 400 light-years distant toward the serpent-bearing constellation Ophiucus.

It's a Chief Miles Edward O'Brien meme. He's standing magnificently in his uniform and smiling at us, his loving onlookers. Meme caption reads, "INSIDE YOU ARE TWO WOLVES. SORRY ABOUT THE TRANSPORTER MALFUNCTION"

I don't usually "do memes" but I'm about to hop on a 7hr flight so I say we do a #StarTrek meme roundup today. Dig deep, and bring the best you got! Most liked meme wins 5 Stanley Nickels!

A starfield is shown with a large spherical nebula in the center. The nebula shows a great deal of internal structure. Please see the explanation for more detailed information.

Star Trek The Original Series scene. Chekov, Bones, and Scotty stand slightly ahead of one another while facing away from an old Western looking town. The sky is dark and red. Chekov is holding pistol. Scotty looks pissed, Bones looks like Bones always looks, and Chekov looks like he's stumped on a riddle. Closed caption reads, "THIS IS NOT A DREAM."

Star Trek Insurrection scene. We're outside on a earth like planet. Worf is sitting outside against a rock. He's wearing a sort of two tone blue top, very nice gradient, like a denim vest against a seafoam base layer. He's making an intense crazy face and his eyes are on fire but not literally just figuratively. Closed caption reads, "Definitely feeling aggressive tendencies, sir!"

I don’t know if you all heard The Hideout is being forced to close its doors.
