James Webb Space Telescope discovers mysterious 'red monster' galaxies so large they shouldn't exist
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.
NASA telescope discovers creepy ultra-massive ‘Red Monster’ galaxies in the early universe
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.
Webb telescope scientists forced to reckon with enormous galaxy outliers
The galaxies, each as vast as the Milky Way, are baffling because most scientific models for galaxy evolution suggest processes that would have been slow and inefficient, said Stijn Wuyts, an astronomer from the University of Bath in the United Kingdom.
James Webb Space Telescope finds galaxies pointing toward a dark matter alternative
A group of astronomers analyzing data from the James Webb Space Telescope ( JWST) say some of the oldest galaxies in our universe appear much larger and brighter than expected, suggesting they formed early and grew rapidly — potentially without the influence of dark matter.
