James Webb Telescope Unveils Cosmic Question Mark
Gravitational lensing reveals a rare galaxy alignment, offering insights into star formation and galactic evolution.
- The galaxy cluster MACS-J0417.5-1154 warps space-time, creating a question mark shape.
- This phenomenon, known as gravitational lensing, magnifies and distorts distant galaxies.
- Scientists observed active star formation in the interacting galaxies forming the question mark.
- The galaxies' interaction resembles the early stages of the Milky Way's development.
- Webb's infrared capabilities allow for detailed study of galaxies billions of light-years away.
