With the launch of the new "Star Trek: Prodigy" series, which features Kate Mulgrew as Captain Kathryn Janeway, here's a look at the monument to Janeway in Bloomington.

Mulgrew reprises her role from "Voyager" in the new animated series, which began streaming on Paramount+ in late October, 2021.



The Captain Kathryn Janeway statue and information table is on the B-Line Trail in Bloomington, Indiana, near the WonderLab Museum of Science, Health & Technology.



Over the years, many grassroots efforts have tried to get a monument created in Bloomington, inspired by a Captain James T. Kirk statue in Riverside, Iowa.







Star Trek fans, as finicky stewards of series factoids, sometimes wonder why the March 22, 2228 date on the Riverside monument differs from the March 22, 2233 date usually accepted as Kirk's birthday. The answer is that the 2233 date wasn't promoted until eight years later -- 1993 -- with the publication of the book, The Star Trek Chronology: The History of the Future. Take your pick which to believe, but both agree that March 22 is the day, which also happens to be William Shatner's real birthday.
