The James Webb telescope found six galaxies that may be too hefty for their age
The masses of the galaxies raise questions about how they got so big so fast
![Six images from the James Webb Space Telescope with three on top and three on the bottom. Each shows a different bright, red, dot that is a galaxy.](https://i0.wp.com/www.sciencenews.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/022123_lg_jwst-massive-early-galaxies_feat.jpg?fit=1030%2C580&ssl=1)
These images from the James Webb Space Telescope zoom in on six bright, red, extremely distant galaxies that appear to be too massive to exist.
