The statementThe James Webb Space Telescope captured a stunning new image that may reveal a small surprise, as it lies in the background of the amazing birth of stars, a point of light in the form of the English punctuation mark – the question mark, according to “Science Alert”. It is not clear what this shape is exactly, but it is relatively far away. In general, the redder an object appears in a field image, the greater the distance. This is because the accelerating expansion of the universe causes light to stretch as it moves toward us, stretching it into the redder parts of the spectrum. The two points seem to have almost the same color, which raises the intriguing possibility that they might be two distant galaxies interacting. This is a phenomenon we see little in the universe, and gravitational interaction can pull these galaxies into interesting extended shapes that some even look like other things. Some of these are similar. Galaxies are somewhat of a bass clef (i.e. kind of like the top of a question mark as well). Others look a bit like a rose. While others look like a scary skull. It’s not that stuff, of course, it seems to be a whim of human perception, seeing patterns and meaning in the random arrangements of elements.
