TL;DR Summary

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope captured an image of two forming stars, Herbig-Haro 46/47, which were photobombed by a celestial question mark. The question mark is believed to be two galaxies merging, indicated by the shape of the object. However, it is unclear whether the two objects are related or if one is closer to Earth than the other. The distance of the question mark is difficult to determine, but further investigation could provide more insights. The source of this symbol in the sky remains a cosmic mystery.
