In one of the shots during the Voyager opening credits the Voyager is doing a fly-by close to some blueish asteroid thing. At the top right hand corner there is this ship/space station thingy. Does anybody know what that is?

I always thought it was another asteroid.

It does indeed look a bit like some sort of constructed object, but close examination reveals it to be, as Liam said, just another asteroid. (At least, my close examination did.)

I always figured it was an asteroid -- though it DOES look a little too angular and "artificial."

Because that's all we'll ever know about it, beit not an asteroid.

That's the first time I've heard that quote cum to use, actually.
Apart from the original, of course.

I guess they modelled the rocky thingy a bit too angular, so it ended up looking artificial when in fact all it was intended to be, was... a rocky thingy.

NCC-47111 or 4780... those lines make it confusing

Homer: I'm gonna miss Springfield. This town's been awfully good to us.
Bart: No, it hasn't, Dad. That's why we're leaving.
Homer: Oh, yeah. [pokes his head out the window] So long, Stinktown!

No, I think it's the one where Voy is flying over the camera, deflector overlit,making a swoosh. The thing is spinning and moving slowly to the right.

It's when you're seeing it fly over as if you were on the surface of the asteroid - up and to the left is another rock that looks vaguely spaceship-like.
