After decades lost, Star Trek’s original Enterprise model may have been found

Long before sci-fi shows created their visuals with computer-generated images, sfx crews filmed detailed models against a plain background, which would later be removed and replaced with stars and planets. Wide-angle close-up lenses, softly glowing internal lights, and slow camera motion give the impression of great size. The large 11-foot model of the original Star…
