'The Independent' reports that astronomers have observed what they believe to be massive galaxies dating back to within 600 million years of the Big Bang.

.

According to a team out of Swinburne University of Technology, the observation suggests the early universe had a stellar fast-track that created these "monsters.".

While older galaxies have been observed before, what surprised scientists about these mega-galaxies was their size and maturity.

While most galaxies in this era are still small and only gradually growing larger over time, there are a few monsters that fast-track to maturity.

Why this is the case or how this would work is unknown, Ivo Labbe, lead researcher at Australia’s Swinburne University of Technology, via 'The Independent'.

'The Independent' reports that these galaxy observations came from the first data set collected by NASA and the European Space Agency's $10 billion Webb telescope.

.

The revelation that massive galaxy formation began extremely early in the history of the universe upends what many of us had thought was settled science, Joel Leja, Pennsylvania State University, via 'The Independent'.

It turns out we found something so unexpected it actually creates problems for science.

It calls the whole picture of early galaxy formation into question, Joel Leja, Pennsylvania State University, via 'The Independent'.

According to Pennsylvania State University’s Joel Leja, it's possible that a few of the massive objects might actually be supermassive black holes.

All six of the objects observed, whether galaxies or black holes, look to weigh billions of times more than our sun, with one of them weighing 100 billion times more.

‘India’s Space Hero Returns’: Shubhanshu Shukla SMILES as Historic AXIOM-4 Lands | Family Reacts

Indian astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla smiled and waved after completing an 18-day mission aboard the International Space Station. His safe splashdown off California marks India’s first-ever astronaut visit to the ISS, a proud milestone for the nation’s space exploration journey. Shukla, piloting the Dragon spacecraft alongside NASA’s Peggy Whitson, conducted over 60 microgravity experiments spanning agriculture, medicine, and water research. The mission, part of Axiom’s private astronaut program, highlights India’s growing role in the global space age. #ShubhanshuShukla #ISSMission #IndiaInSpace #SpaceExploration #AxiomMission #SpaceX #DragonSpacecraft #NASA #PeggyWhitson #IndianAstronaut #ProudMoment #Splashdown #MicrogravityResearch #SpaceScience #GlobalSpaceAge #HistoricMission #SpaceInnovation #IndiaISS #AstronautLife #ISSHistoric #SpaceNews #SpaceTech #PrivateAstronautProgram #FutureOfSpace #ISS ~HT.178~ED.194~
