The cosmic question mark in deep space

A cosmic object in the shape of a question mark is one of the latest images captured by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope.

The cosmic question mark has not been closely observed or studied, so scientists are not exactly sure of the object's origin and composition, but they have some ideas based on its shape and location.

"It could be a merger of two galaxies that's probably happening billions of light years away," Christopher Britt, a scientist in the Space Telescope Science office of public outreach, told CNN .

It's the first time this specific object has been seen, experts said, but mergers of galaxies in a similar form have occurred other times, including a version formed by the Antena galaxies in the constellation Corvus.

What's more, most galaxies have had multiple interactions like this over the course of their history, Britt said, but they don't last very long.

This merger is also the ultimate fate of our own galaxy, which will merge with the Andromeda galaxy in about 4 billion years, Britt said, but what form they will take is unknown.

"The question mark shape could also be indicative of a merger where these two galaxies are gravitationally interacting," Britt said.
