Amid a field of galaxies, a repeated, elongated red galaxy forms a shape like the top of a question mark, with another galaxy positioned like the question mark’s dot. In each occurrence, another purple and white, clumpy galaxy with an overall circular shape appears perched on top of the red galaxy. The five repeat images of a galaxy pair are labeled with letters of the alphabet. A, B, and C trace the shape of the top of a question mark, curving from left to right and then down. To the right of this shape is the letter D, but the galaxy pair is largely washed out by a bright white, oval foreground galaxy. The E label and galaxy pair are at a greater distance to the lower right. At the bottom right are compass arrows indicating the orientation of the image on the sky. The east arrow points toward 9 o’clock. The north arrow points in the 12 o’clock direction. At the bottom right is a scale bar labeled 2 arcseconds The length of the scale bar is about one sixth of the total image. Below the image is a color key showing which filters were used to create the image and which visible-light color is assigned to each filter. NIRCam filters from left to right: F090W, in blue; F150W, in green; F444W, in red.
