NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has discovered three ancient and mysterious galaxies in space. All three formed only a few million years after the Big Bang. From then until today it has been glowing red. These three galaxies are as big as our galaxy i.e. the Milky Way. Its discovery is likely to reveal new secrets about the origin of the universe.
Scientists call them “Red Monster” galaxies. These have existed since the time of the early universe. The weight of each galaxy is approximately ten billion times greater than the weight of our Sun. The age of these three red galaxies is approximately 1.28 billion years. That means they were born about 100 million years after the Big Bang.

The stars present within these red galaxies merged rapidly. Thanks to these galaxies, scientists will have to study space in a new way. Because these three galaxies have made the process of star and galaxy formation mysterious. A report on these was published in Nature Journal on November 13.
All three are giant, mysterious and confusing galaxies.
Stin Witts, a professor of astronomy at the University of Bath, England, who studies these galaxies, said all three are giants. They are mysterious. These are nothing less than the great demons of space. These commit us again to studying the formation of space, stars and galaxies.

How are stars and galaxies normally formed?
Stin said it is generally believed that galaxies form in giant craters of dark matter. The powerful gravity present in this crater attracts anything like gas, small stones, etc. towards itself and turns them into stars. Groups of these stars are then formed. Its planets and satellites are formed.
Ancient galaxies formed stars quickly
Generally, at the time of a galaxy’s formation, stars are formed from only 20 percent of the gas present within it. But 80 percent of the gas in these three galaxies has created bright new stars. What surprises scientists. Which shows that these galaxies present in ancient space used to produce stars at a tremendous rate.

The three red galaxies have been captured by JWST’s Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam). This instrument can see very deep into space. You can discover stars and galaxies. After the launch of this telescope, scientists around the world have re-read the first chapter of the creation of space.
