The title is a bit inaccurate to the article content. Has some new finding truly un-done past findings in astronomy? How has it been reshaped? I'm as excited as anyone about what JW can provide, but it is just a new era in addition, not exception- as even the article puts it.

It's not super groundbreaking yet (given how early it is), but the oldest galaxies seen in the JWST deep field apparently seem to be more structured than expected for such a young universe, which would probably require revision of our models of the young universe.

To me, that's just bad scientific reporting then. As a scientist, I also found this headline a bit misleading.

All science reporting is bad. All of it.

reshaping is beat-agnostic clickbait for "doing some interesting stuff". plug "reshaping" into a google news search

To me it’s like when they say xy stock plummets (by 5%)

Heh, I'd be fine with that. Usually it's "XY plummets because of ... (XY: -1%)". From my non-statistically informed observations, 1% is basically the noise floor, so saying "because" is misleading at best. At least 5% is pretty rare.

There have also not yet been any significant new findings.

The article is pure fluff.
