Astronomers have discovered more than a hundred dusty galaxies in the early Universe, each of which is in the throes of an intense burst of star formation. One of these galaxies is an example of a rare class of starburst, seen just one billion years after the Big Bang. The new results may present a direct challenge to our current ideas of how galaxies formed.
