Find out what created the most bizarre super objects in the universe

British scientists have uncovered a long-standing mystery in astronomy, involving the most bizarre things "resurrected" from the early universe.

Thanks to the superior observation capabilities of advanced telescopes, more and more super objects from the "newborn" universe have been exposed to the eyes of Earthlings.

Among them, ancient giant galaxies bulged out like rugby balls, completely different from the disk-like shape of today's galaxies, which has puzzled astronomers for years.

But a research team led by the University of Southampton (UK) has just answered this long-standing question.

Accordingly, the models they created pointed out the mechanism that helps form super objects like the strange rugby ball mentioned above: These are fierce collisions, but they must be collisions in a young universe.

"The collision of two disk galaxies causes gas - the fuel that forms stars - to sink to their centers, creating trillions of new stars," explained Dr. Anna Puglisi, a member of the research team.

These collisions could only have occurred about 8-12 billion years ago, when the universe was in a much more dynamic evolutionary phase than it is today.

The large jet of cold gas created by the collision may have fueled the formation of some of the most monstrous star systems inside the giant post-merger galaxy.

To arrive at this result, scientists used a new technique to examine the distribution of light from distant and extremely bright galaxies.

According to the authors, the data on those galaxies is the first real evidence that globules form directly through intense bursts of star formation at the cores of galaxies.

These monstrous galaxies also form rapidly. Gas is sucked in furiously, feeding black holes and fueling stellar explosions, causing star formation to occur 10 to 100 times faster than in our Milky Way galaxy.

These football-shaped super-objects are no longer seen in the universe today, which is 13.8 billion years old and much less raging than in its early years.
