monstrous galaxies seemed to bewere located right at the intersection of the dark matter filaments.
There aren't
any monstrous galaxies left in the modern Universe, but astronomers believe that these young galaxies matured into giant elliptical galaxies which are seen in the modern Universe.
We can see that not all of
the monstrous galaxies show up in this picture, or at the least that some of them must be very faint.

To search for
monstrous galaxies, the research team led by Hideki Umehata (a postdoctoral fellow of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science staying at the European Southern Observatory, Germany), Yoichi Tamura (an assistant professor at the University of Tokyo), and Kotaro Kohno (a professor at the University of Tokyo) used ALMA to make extensive observations of a small part of the sky called SSA22 in the constellation Aquarius (the Water - Bearer).

With ten times better sensitivity and 60 times better resolution, ALMA enabled astronomers to pinpoint the locations of nine
monstrous galaxies in SSA22.

Using this model, they corrected for lensing effects and revealed that SDP.81 is
a monstrous galaxy forming stars at hundreds to thousands of times the rate we see in the Milky Way.
