The Webb telescope just offered a revelatory view of humanity’s distant past

    We are stardust, we are golden
    We are billion year old carbon
    And we got to get ourselves back to the garden

    Well, then can I roam beside you?
    I have come to lose the smog,
    And I feel myself a cog in somethin' turning
    And maybe it's the time of year
    Yes and maybe it's the time of man
    And I don't know who I am
    But life is for learning

Thinking of those lyrics, and realizing Apollo 11 was just a few weeks before Woodstock, makes the "maybe it's the time of man" have a bit more punch.

I think "view of our distant past" would have perhaps expressed the idea the best in a less clickbaity way
