The space telescope's image of a odd-looking spiral galaxy is, in reality, two distant galaxies overlapping each other.

A cosmic coincidence has led to one of the most amazing images ever captured by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). The dramatic outflow from a newborn star, known as Herbig-Haro 49/50 (HH ...
