What Is This ‘Cosmic Question Mark’ Captured by the James Webb Space Telescope?
The James Webb Space Telescope has captured a spectacular new image of a pair of actively forming stars about 1,470 light-years away. But beneath the breathtaking phenomenon, some viewers noticed a peculiar shape among the backdrop of celestial objects: a glowing question mark. The image quickly went viral on social media, with jokes about its origin ranging from aliens to a glitch in the Matrix.
The object’s color indicates it is either very distant—billions of light-years away—or much closer and obscured by dust.
The shining question mark represents two galaxies merging. The hooked portion of the shape may be what’s called a tidal tail—a thin, elongated stream of stars and gases that occurs as galaxies interact.

This image shows a smoothed reconstruction of the total (mostly dark) matter distribution in the COSMOS field, created from data taken by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope and ground-based telescopes. It was inferred from the weak gravitational lensing distortions that are imprinted onto the shapes of background galaxies. The colour coding indicates the distance of the foreground mass concentrations as gathered from the weak lensing effect. Structures shown in white, cyan, and green are typically closer to us than those indicated in orange and red. To improve the resolution of the map, data from galaxies both with and without redshift information were used.
The new study presents the most comprehensive analysis of data from the COSMOS survey. The researchers have, for the first time ever, used Hubble and the natural "weak lenses" in space to characterise the accelerated expansion of the Universe.

Top 10 Unanswered Questions about the Universe: Exploring the Mysteries Beyond
The vast expanse of the universe has captivated humankind for centuries, leaving us with numerous unanswered questions. From the nature of dark matter to the possibility of extraterrestrial life, the universe continues to intrigue and challenge our understanding. In this article, we will delve into the top 10 unanswered questions about the universe, shedding light on these enigmas and the ongoing scientific endeavors to unravel them. Read full article here.
What the James Webb Telescope May Uncover about EBLM J0555-57Ab, the Smallest Star
EBLM J0555–57Ab, a diminutive red dwarf nestled within a triple star system, approximately 640 light-years away from Earth, vies with its stellar counterpart, 2MASS J0523–1403, for the title of the smallest star in existence. Image credit: Sarah Collins, Cambridge University
EBLM J0555-57Ab presents a unique opportunity for astronomers to study the earliest stages of stellar formation. Due to its diminutive size, this star is likely to be at an early phase in its evolution, possibly still in the protostellar stage. The James Webb Telescope's exceptional sensitivity and infrared capabilities will enable astronomers to observe the star with unprecedented precision. By scrutinizing the gas and dust surrounding EBLM J0555-57Ab, scientists hope to unravel the mechanisms behind star birth and the intricate interplay between nascent stars and their surrounding environment.

So, how exactly will the JWST go about studying these mysterious, ultra-dense objects? Well, black holes are known for their intense gravitational pull, which can cause nearby matter to heat up and emit radiation. The JWST's infrared capabilities will allow it to detect and study this radiation in detail, providing new insights into the behavior of black holes.
One of the key goals of the JWST's black hole research is to better understand the process of accretion, in which matter falls into the black hole and releases energy in the form of radiation. By studying this process in different types of black holes, the JWST could help shed light on some of the most fundamental questions in astrophysics, such as how galaxies form and evolve over time.
But the JWST won't just be looking at black holes in isolation. It will also be studying the way that black holes interact with their surrounding environments, including the stars and gas clouds that surround them. This could help us understand how black holes shape the evolution of galaxies and the wider universe.
All in all, the JWST's black hole research is set to be a game-changer for our understanding of the cosmos.
Unveiling the Secrets of Quasars: A Look at Webb's Latest Observations
Quasars are among the most distant and powerful objects in the universe, emitting immense amounts of energy and light. This week, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has been observing several quasars, including J1537-3010, PSJ1606-2333, RM275, RM312, P2021, RM332, RM387, RM401, RM470, RM549, RM734, RM052, and PDS456-NIRSPEC.
