The infrared vs dust ambiguity was one of those methodological bottlenecks that held back so much astronomy research for decades. JWST essentially turned what used to be educated guesses about galaxy composition into direct observations. The redshift clarification capability alone has prboably rewritten a dozen textbook chapters on early universe formation.
I’m continually amazed by the discoveries and subsequent realignments of previous ideas made by modern astrophysics and the other space sciences. This telescope certainly has opened the door to many, many revelations. So glad you liked this Stop! Thanks for riding along!
