TL;DR Summary

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured an image showing what appears to be a "question mark" in deep space. The image reveals two stars, Herbig-Haro 46/47, forming in the center of a disc of gas and dust, with the question mark shape located just beneath them. Astronomers believe it is likely one or more galaxies interacting, and its red color suggests it is quite distant. This may be the first sighting of such a phenomenon in space. The James Webb Space Telescope, considered the successor to the Hubble Space Telescope, celebrated its one-year anniversary and is known for its ability to look billions of years into the past.
