I recently went to a Star Trek convention down the street (with ubiquitous time traveling Steam Punk):

It was pretty much a big advertisement for the Texas Lottery, targeting people who have aspergers AND are bad at math, so I’m not sure who they think their audience is. But they sponsored a chance for people to dress in Star Trek costumes, so you can’t really blame them too much.

The plan was to make a world record for number of people in costume in one place. It was not beat, but William Shatner did break the record for shortest celebrity appearance, so it goes.

And dancing did ensue:

The planets were also highly detailed:

Probably Saturn:

There was geometry everywhere, some of it more obvious than in other places:

Looking it up later online, we were able to verify the year this stuff was done, but no further information about it:

There was a bird pulling a worm through a wormhole:

And a giant mosquito:

Plus the best police badge ever:

A lovely quote:

And some other stuff:

 

I tried doing various image searches, but Google was no help:

Yes, thank you Google, this is very similar to a scorpion constellation built into a floor:
