Why is my console returning "<main></main> = $1"?

When running "document.querySelector('main');", me console (iMac/Safari) returns the expected "<main></main>", but with an additional " = $1". I have inspected and compared the .html and .js files, but i do not see why this should be happening?

Hi Josh Burczyk!

Could you share a snapshot of your workspace, so that I can have a look at your code?
