The Anomaly

The deployment of the James WEB telescope had been a monumental achievement and a momentous occasion for NASA and its partners, ESA (European Space Agency) and the Canadian Space Agency. Now finally, all those mysterious regions of the universe that had once been previously extremely fuzzy or else totally undetectable, would clearly come into view.
And so it had been. Glorious vistas hitherto unseen by the human eye began to be gradually revealed increasing humanity's knowledge of what had happened close to that initial time of the event referred to as the Big Bang. Not just NASA, and its partners, but the the entire worldwide scientific community had been elated.
That was until the James Web detected what had come to be referred to as The Anomaly. Then panic within the scientific community set in among the majority of its members. Of course, dismissing the Anomaly would have been easy had it not so flagrantly violated the fundamental laws of physics. Stars of many categories, such as Blue Giants, Red Dwarfs and Neutron Stars were suddenly appearing by the millions as if from nowhere within the great void adjacent to our galactic cluster, and rapidly assembling themselves into a certain configurations which indicated purpose.
"But that can't be! It constitutes a blatant violation all the scientific principles and laws of nature that science depends on to make sense of our universe!" the first astro-physicist informed about the discovery had said after having examined the data.
But he wasn't alone, most astrophysicists were extremely irked and dumfounded by it. Finally, in a desperate effort to make sense of it all, an assembly at the NASA Headquarters in Washington DC had been scheduled to discuss the seriousness of the matter. Among them was the famous astrophysicist Joseph Stanton, a middle aged blue-suited man with prematurely greying hair and a dour expression always present on his gaunt face. During an hour's wait, he had been conspicuously readjusting his bifocal eyeglasses with his thumb and index finger whenever the plausibility of the phenomenon being real had been even slightly considered.
Of course, he as a scientist, who fully supported all the current mainstream astronomical theories, had been completely against revealing such a discovery to the public since, in his view, it would only serve to encourage the fanatics to frenetically defend their irrational fanatical delusions. But he had been overruled by the NASA administrator. So there it was, being irresponsibly displayed for all mankind to see, in all its perturbing glory.
Finally, after what seemed an eternity to him, it was his turn to address the audience. To his consternation, photographic depictions of the anomaly that had stirred the scientific community into frenzy of heated debates was being displayed on the rectangular screen elevated behind the podium.
"That anomaly," he said, after stationing himself behind the lectern and pointing at it with a quavering index finger as if it had been some dreaded abomination, "proves absolutely nothing except that there must be some scientific explanation which we have as yet not discovered but eventually will. Of that you can be sure!"
He paused expecting thunderous applause, but the applause were weak and sporadic, and quickly died down. Perhaps it had to do with Stanton's unusual demeanor. Usually a calm and quiet reserved man, this time he had almost shouted from the podium and was grasping the sides of the lectern as if in a death grip. The whiteness of his knuckles provided evidence of that.
To the audience of his peers, it was as if Stanton was believing himself in some kind of mortal danger, as if he had been expecting the very foundations of the NASA Headquarters building to be suddenly demolished by some preternatural force that he strongly feared. Stanton was also perspiring profusely, something he had never done while giving a lecture in public before. In short, he was cutting the figure of a cornered wild animal about to bolt.
Naturally, Stanton was distraught. Had he known exactly what the James Web Space Telescope had been about to reveal, he would have done everything within his power to prevent it from focusing on that particular region of space. But how was he to have known? After all, there had never been any indication of anything even remotely similar to it.
Yet, even after the anomaly's discovery, it could have been kept a secret had they only heeded his immediate recommendation that the anomaly be relegated to the files of the irrelevant. After all, this policy was nothing unusual. In fact, it had become common practice to shelve anything that seriously contradicted the popular accepted theories and to unceremoniously tag such things that seriously contradicted them as being totally irrelevant and not worth the time. So it had been with supreme confidence that he had proposed it.
Unfortunately, certain others of his peers, who did not share his views, and whom he now publically tagged as traitors to science, had disagreed, and soon, they had revealed the discovery to the press and now it was now all over the news causing the exact social turmoil which Stanton and his peers had predicted that it would cause.
Of course, he and most other scientists had initially dismissed it as some type of joke being foisted by some disgruntled NASA or European Space Agency employee, or else just some glitch that needed to be fixed. Surely, they all proposed, they would eventually find some conclusive evidence proving that the James Web Telescope data had been tampered with in order to support the totally unacceptable concept being conveyed by The Anomaly.
Yet, despite their frantic efforts to prove the discovery a glitch, no such evidence had ever been found. Worse still, another scan of the exact location revealed that the stars were all varying their luminosity over a period of seven days. All in perfect sync down to the exact microsecond. It was as if they had been transformed into one gargantuan neon sign.
But most disturbing, these stars had been organized into what were clearly letters of the English Language. But it wasn’t so much that they were forming letters. Instead, what made the normally particularly offensive to these scientists was was what the letters conveyed. A word.
You see, to the intense consternation of atheists, the letters formed by the millions of stars were Y H W H, the letters of the Tetragrammaton, the letters repeatedly used by the ancient Hebrew writers of the Old Testament to represent the name of God.
