James Webb Space Telescope discovers elongated galaxy Arp-142 and observes rare galaxy alignment in MACS-J0417.5–1154 cluster.

The James Webb Space Telescope has identified a galaxy, Arp-142, that resembles a cosmic question mark due to its elongated shape. This unique form is likely a result of interactions with another galaxy. Additionally, the telescope observed a rare alignment of galaxies in the MACS-J0417.5–1154 cluster, providing insights into galaxy evolution and star formation, enhancing our understanding of the Milky Way's appearance 7 billion years ago.
