The Controversial Illusion: Examining Galaxies, Dust Clouds, and the Big Bang Theory

Astronomers will tell you it’s just an optical illusion, a pair of galaxies caught in a mating process seen from the wrong angle. It happens all the time. In the 1960s and 1970s Halton Arp, an astronomer at the Hill Observatories in southern California, caused a stir by claiming that galaxies separated by conventional cosmological calculations — but apparently superimposed on the sky — interacted locally. His claim cast doubt on the Big Bang theory of the universe. Astronomers now agree he was wrong. Now a real question mark has been discovered in Webb’s recent observing angle of a pair of dust clouds known as Herbig-Haro 46/47 that are forming into two stars. This discovery caused an uproar on social media. “Ze Space Mall information booth was found by JWST,” joked one commenter on X, the site formerly known as Twitter.
