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 JWST’s FRESCO program, developed by the team, systematically analyzed emission-line galaxies from the dawn of the universe. This allowed them to accurately measure the distances and stellar masses of these newly detected giants.

An international team of astronomers has identified three ultra-massive galaxies—each nearly as massive as the Milky Way—already in place within the first billion years after the Big Bang. The discovery is surprising because it indicates that the formation of stars in the early Universe was far more efficient than previously thought,

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.

An international team of scientists led by the University of Geneva has discovered three ultra-massive galaxies that formed just a billion years after the Big Bang, challenging existing theories on how galaxies were created in.

An international team led by the University of Geneva (UNIGE) has identified three ultra-massive galaxies—nearly as massive as the Milky Way—already in place within the first billion years after the Big Bang.
