Officially known as Abell 1033, NASA says it bears an 'uncanny resemblance' to the Star Trek ship. The galaxy cluster is officially known as Abell 1033, and is about 1.6 billion light years from Earth. Using X-ray and radio data, scientists found Abell 1033 is actually two galaxy clusters in the process of colliding. 'In Abell 1033, the structures in the data create an uncanny resemblance to many of the depictions of the fictional Starship Enterprise from Star Trek,' it added. By combining X-rays with other types of light, such as radio waves, a more complete picture of these important cosmic objects can be obtained.
