The James Webb Space Telescope , launched in December 2021 , has disrupted our understanding of galaxy formation since the Big Bang .

In a new study, scientists identified three massive galaxies — dubbed " Red Monsters " — each almost the size of the Milky Way.

These galaxies produce stars at about two to three times more efficiently than galaxies in the later universe.

The exact causes of this accelerated growth remain a mystery.

The study was published on Nov. 13 in the journal Nature .

The 'Red Monsters' are just the beginning of a new era in our exploration of the early Universe," concluded Xiao.
