The two distinct features could easily be merging galaxies in the background, with the upper part of the question mark being part of a larger galaxy getting tidally disrupted. [...] Given the ...

Astronomers now agree that he was wrong. Now a genuine question mark has been discovered, in the corner of a recent Webb telescope observation of a pair of dust clouds known as Herbig-Haro 46/47 ...

but the appearance of this mysterious object in the background of this image leaves more questions than answers. The cosmic question mark hasn’t been closely observed or studied, so scientists ...

The question mark follows a map of cosmic radiation - the background light left over from the Big Bang which formed the universe - which appeared to include the initials of the famous physicist ...
