Seems like merging galaxies. It’s too far away to be a single star being eaten by a companion. (It’d have the six-sided star mirror artifact if it were closer.) And galaxies temporarily form weird shapes as they merge
Just speculation but it would be totally plausible for a helix shaped galaxy or star (possibly being pulled into a black hole) oriented from an odd angle, with either a gap or a cloud of some sort blocking one part of it and it just happens to look like a common glyph.

Lemmy just hit a new high today. As I came in to post this, I found it as the top comment. Very old-reddit! Good job.

Yeah it's getting better. The top hour, 6 hours etc. has helped a ton too.

Old Reddit would have an expert as the top comment instead of a joke. That's something to strive for.

I enjoy the jokes, but has anyone given an explanation of what it likely is?

Could also be two or more systems colliding with each other. Similar to this

I wanted to guess gravitational lensing, but couldn't see how that would make a question mark.. it's still pretty cool!

If they look just a little further they're bound to find some galaxies smeared into the phrase "WE APOLOGIZE FOR THE INCONVENIENCE"

That message was sent specifically for us. Like, "We've been watching your civilization for the last 50 earth cycles. WTF?"
