The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered a giant cosmic question mark in space that has baffled scientists.
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.
The two dazzling stars, named Herbig-Haro 46/47, were seen surrounded by a disk of material that “feeds” them as they grow for millions of years.
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.
It’s unclear what the strange object might be.

Meh. It is just the rendering of a “To Do” note in the simulation code.
