Romanian photographer Maximilian Teodorescu recently captured this dramatic photo of the International Space Station (ISS) as it drifted across the surface of the Moon. But looking at it a bit closer, you could be forgiven for thinking it was the starship Enterprise.

If you’re into colorful Star Trek art, then Bye Bye Robot has two new posters that you should be sure to check out.

The cloaked Bird of Prey is cast entirely in transparent plastic, with all of the electronics removed, making it nearly invisible. Simple and brilliant. Like the standard edition, the product measures 12 inches long, with a 19-inch wingspan, but it also features a transparent display base and translucent landing gear.
Summer is here. How can you tell? One, it’s probably raining. Two, you can hear loud noises from inside the screening room when you stroll through your local cinema. And with blockbuster season in full swing, we’re taking a look here at two of the scores from this season’s big movies…
What do James T. Kirk and Bob Wilson have in common? The answer, of course, is William Shatner.

For example, Film Sketcher, a blog devoted to concept design and storyboarding in science-fiction films and TV, and Clothes on Film, have unveiled concept designs – some used and some not — for the costumes seen in Star Trek Into Darkness. Michael Kaplan served as the costume designer on STID, and he recruited Constantine Sekeris, Christopher Ross, Keith Christensen and others to conceive the various designs for the Klingons, the Enterprise crew and, of course, Khan.
