Cosmic question mark discovered in deep-space by the James Webb Space Telescope
The team operating the telescope at the European Space Agency released an image on Wednesday that offered the most detailed look yet at two actively forming young stars located some 1470 light-years from Earth in the Vela Constellation.
But just below them, in the background of the stunning deep-space image, was an object that resembled a huge, red question mark suspended in the night sky.NASA/ESA/CSA/STScI/SWNS“It is probably a distant galaxy, or potentially interacting galaxies.
