I have a lot of questions about space. The usual stuff. Why is anything out there in the first place? Why is gravity a thing? Can I safety juggle knives in a parallel universe?
Apparently,
space has questions about itself. At
least it has question marks. The James
Webb Space Telescope recently captured an image of a pair of actively forming
stars known as
Herbig-Haro 46/47. But a detail at the
very bottom of the frame captured even more attention. An orange formation there has collected into
the unmistakable shape of a question mark.
Scientists believe the punctuation mark is two or more galaxies merging
in the periphery of the forming stars.
But is it?

Question Mark
