Giant question mark found in space

James Webb Telescope did a highly detailed image of the Herbig-Haro 46/47 star system, 1470 light-years away from us. And in this frame, they noticed a giant question mark.

In general, the photograph shows the formation of two stars in a young system (it is only a couple of thousand years old). Due to the gravitational force, objects are attracted to each other and therefore forced to rotate around one axis. A thin translucent blue cloud is an area of ​​dense dust and gas. The sharp image allows you to see through this nebula a wide range of stars and galaxies far beyond.

As for the strange object at the bottom of the image, which looks like a question mark, astronomers believethat under it lies a distant galaxy or a pair of galaxies interacting with each other in some way. Various processes around them could lead to the appearance of such an optical illusion.

The red color of the objects indicates that they are far away from Herbig-Haro 46/47, which is in the very center of the photo.

Associate Professor of Physics at the University of Illinois (USA) Matt Kaplan also does not rule out that this is at all the merger of two galaxies, and the top of the question mark is a larger galaxy that is moving to them. But while these are only assumptions, scientists still do not have an unambiguous explanation for this phenomenon.
