Across billions of light-years and decades of accumulated assumption, the James Webb Space Telescope has quietly corrected a fundamental error in how humanity has been reading the sky. Objects long cataloged as faint quasars — those brilliant beacons powered by feeding black holes — have been revealed as something far more generative: galaxies in the act of furious star birth. The distinction is not merely taxonomic; it unsettles our census of the early universe and reminds us that the instruments through which we see the cosmos also shape the stories we tell about it.
