It's a screengrab from Star Trek: Lower Decks although it can be found in any of the newer episodes of the new Trek shows. They're using it as an opening across all shows. A ship (changes depending on the show) flies around in space. It then zooms out and you realize the path the ship was taking makes the Starfleet Delta. Then the Star Trek text drops over the top. Pretty neato intro actually.
Here's the link to the Strange New Worlds one. Lower Decks shows the ship from that show, the Cerritos. Discovery shows the USS Discovery and the newest season of Picard shows the USS Titan-A. There's even a new retro version for the 'very Short Treks' theyve been putting up on youtube.
Here's the full pic if you want it.
The retro/TAS version is pretty remarkable. I made a comparison between them, and they match amazingly well:
Edit: the animation maybe doesn't work?
Animation works on my end. They do match real close. I am super impressed with the detail they did for all the intros. There's even little easter eggs imbedded in some of them. Picard Season 3 is mostly the same but occasionally something small changes and you see another ship in the background or special effects added to the main logo. Lower Decks has added a nebula that looks like a giant Koala into their intro.
Yep, I love it. I kept trying to figure out the twist in PIC s3 based on when stuff changed. Never would've guessed what Geordi had been doing.
Oh that took me off guard too. I actually cheered and started yelling when that slow reveal started becoming obvious.
