Vulcan salute
Alien hand greeting
The Vulcan salute is a hand gesture with the palm forward and fingers parted between the middle and ring fingers, forming a V shape.
Originating from the television series *Star Trek*, it accompanies the phrase "live long and prosper" and has become a recognizable symbol of the franchise: She gave him a Vulcan salute as he left.
