A cosmic question mark was captured in a recently-released image from the James Webb Space Telescope, raising questions itself. Scientists say it could be a distant galaxy. Theoretical physicist Dr. Michio Kaku explains the significance of new images provided by NASA's Webb Space Telescope on 'Sunday Night in America.' While questions about the universe abound, a James Webb Space Telescope image has recently raised others.

The stars, captured in near-infrared light, are known as Herbig-Haro 46/47 and are buried in a disk of gas and dust. NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has captured a tightly bound pair of actively forming stars, known as Herbig-Haro 46/47, in high-resolution near-infrared light. Look for them at the center of the red diffraction spikes, appearing as an orange-white splotch.The space agencies working on the telescope explain that, in the background of the shot, lie extremely distant galaxies.

A 'Question Mark' Formation Was Documented in SpaceScientists speculated it was one or more galaxies. The viral photograph was authentic, though it was a zoomed-in version of a larger image by NASA's Webb Space Telescope. The telescope's image was a composite of multiple exposures taken by its Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam). Documenting a pair of forming stars (the bright, colorful objects in the image's center), the image was published on the telescope's official website on July 26, 2023.
