A number of enigmatic new ‘UFO galaxies’ have reportedly now been found by astronomers.
These galaxies are characterized by their appearance as red, blazing disc-shaped objects in the void of space.
They discovered evidence of 56 ‘Ultra-red Flattened Objects’ after examining data acquired by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).
These objects have been evading older observatories such as Hubble for decades.
There is a high probability that the UFO galaxies were concealed by clouds of dust and debris that encircled them, so concealing the light that they emit from their inner star systems.
The lead author, Justus Gibson, stated that the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) enables us to observe a form of galaxy that we would have never been able to observe in the past.
The reason that UFO galaxies appear red is because to the fact that they emit relatively little visible light, as Gibson described earlier.
The majority of the light that is emitted by these galaxies is infrared radiation, and the small quantity of visible light that they release is at the limit of what the human eye is able to perceive.
In order to identify the shapes of these massive, red UFO galaxies, a collection of computer simulations, neural network emulators, and mathematical models were utilized.
The team came to the conclusion that they can be found in a variety of shapes, including the traditional “flying saucers” (discs) and the “prolate spheroids” shaped like rugby balls.
According to the findings of the researchers, each of these enormous galaxies that generate red light and infrared radiation has around fifty times more dust than our own galaxy, the Milky Way.
Prior to reaching a conclusion that they were confident in, the researchers took into consideration data from a large array of galaxies that had been better documented.
They came to the conclusion that the stars and planets that are contained within these UFO galaxies are obscured by dense clouds of dust.
The scientists conducted a thorough comparison of these data with the total mass of stars in each UFO galaxy, which is referred to as its stellar mass, as well as the variations in the quality of light and infrared radiation that are emitted at the core of each galaxy in comparison to its boundaries.
Rather than the weak light that is typical of very distant galaxies that are billions of light-years away, which are considered to have formed during the earliest epochs of the universe, the data provided a convincing indication that the faint red light that is released by these UFO galaxies is due to masking by dust and debris.
Changes in the gradients of red and infrared light, as well as similar observations from surrounding galaxies that are brighter and bluer, assisted the team in estimating the pace at which new stars grow within these UFO galaxies.
