Earth has a thick atmosphere that provides us humans with the means to survive. However, it also hinders our observations of deep space in the universe. In the past, humans have launched several space telescopes into outer space to avoid interference from Earth’s atmosphere, and the James Webb Space Telescope is one of them.

The James Webb Space Telescope is often referred to as the “successor” to the Hubble Space Telescope. Compared to its “predecessor,” it has a much larger aperture and more sophisticated observation equipment, making it currently the most powerful space telescope for deep space observations. The telescope was launched into space on December 25, 2021, and successfully reached the second Lagrange point of the Sun-Earth system on January 24, 2022. As of today, it has been operating normally for over a year, transmitting a wealth of observational data back to Earth.

This observational data can help us gain a deeper understanding of the universe and has revealed some remarkable phenomena in the cosmos. For instance, recent research suggests that the James Webb Space Telescope has unexpectedly discovered a gigantic question mark in the depths of the universe. Isn’t that intriguing?

This colossal question mark was actually an accidental discovery. At the time, a group of astronomers was using the new observational data transmitted by the James Webb Space Telescope to study a pair of forming binary stars called “Herbig-Haro 46/47.” These binary stars are located in the direction of the constellation Pisces, approximately 1,400 light-years away from Earth, making them crucial targets for studying the process of star formation.

In the images captured by the Webb Telescope, we can see “Herbig-Haro 46/47” at the center of the image, emitting red and blue spots due to shockwaves generated by the collision of gas flows with surrounding material, producing different-colored light at various wavelengths. Below this image, we can observe the mysterious question mark. Researchers estimated its distance to be at least several billion light-years away based on its redshift, highlighting its immense scale.

So, what exactly is this gigantic question mark? Given the curiosity it has aroused, people have come up with various speculations. For example, some suggest, based on the categorization of “cosmic civilization levels,” that a Type III civilization could possess the ability to manipulate the shape of an entire galaxy intentionally, thus announcing its presence in the universe. Others speculate that our universe might be virtual, and the appearance of this question mark could be a “bug” in the cosmic program.

These speculations are undeniably fascinating, but from a scientific perspective, it’s more prudent to seek explanations based on natural phenomena. While there are no definitive conclusions at present, scientists have provided a reasonable explanation: the gigantic question mark discovered by the Webb Telescope in the deep universe is likely the result of gravitational interactions between galaxies.

It’s worth noting that gravitational interactions between galaxies are a common occurrence in the universe. They can alter the shape and structure of galaxies, even leading to galactic mergers. When two galaxies come close enough, their gravitational forces disturb each other’s matter distribution, stretching or ejecting some stars, gas, and dust. During this process, their overall shapes can become quite peculiar, and under coincidental conditions, they may appear as a question mark.

Scientists believe that this enormous question mark, found in this instance, is likely the result of two colliding and merging galaxies. In this collision, one galaxy passed through the central region of the other, generating significant shockwaves and turbulence. This distortion and separation of the cores of both galaxies, as well as the elongation and bending of their outer regions, collectively gave rise to a shape resembling a question mark.

In fact, from the images captured by the Webb Telescope, we can also observe two relatively bright regions in the lower and middle portions of this gigantic question mark, likely representing the cores of the two galaxies. The curved part above them may be a “tidal tail” formed due to the gravitational interaction between these two galaxies.

In summary, the discovery of this enormous question mark is undeniably remarkable, especially considering that we had never observed such a shape in the universe before. However, it is likely a cosmic coincidence. It can be imagined that as the two galaxies continue to collide and merge, their overall shapes will undergo further changes in the future, and humanity may no longer observe this gigantic question mark. Of course, this remains a speculation, and the specific details await further exploration.
