The James Webb telescope has spotted three gigantic "red monster" galaxies that were spawned soon after the Big Bang. They're so large they could rewrite the laws of galactic evolution.

Webb captures merging galaxy pairs known as II ZW 96. It is located around 500 million light-years away from Earth. This image showcases Westerlund 1 which is a diverse star cluster consisting of old as well as newborn stars.

A group of international astronomers have discovered three mysterious, ultra-massive galaxies in the early universe. The galaxies – systems of stars, gas, dust, and dark matter – appear in a view from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope like creepy, blood-red glowing eyes. They get their striking color from their extreme amount of dust.

The James Webb Telescope once again discovered galaxies that form stars so early and so effectively that they don't fit into the standard model of cosmology.

In the dark reaches of the early universe, three monstrous galaxies were already lurking — a mere billion years after the Big Bang. These galaxies, nearly as massive as our own Milky Way, were just uncovered by an international team led by the University of Geneva (UNIGE).

An international team that includes the University of Bath has discovered three ultra-massive galaxies (‘Red Monsters’) in the early Universe forming at unexpected speeds, challenging current models of galaxy formation.

Since its launch, the James Webb Space Telescope has been finding unusually bright galaxies in the early cosmos. Now there is supposed to be an explanation.
