SO WHY IS ANYBODY SURPRISED?
Stunning Webb Discovery Forces Rethink of Planet Formation in the Early Universe
"The Webb Space Telescope has provided evidence that contradicts existing theories by confirming long-lived planet-forming disks in environments with minimal heavy elements, suggesting a need to revise our understanding of early planet formation."
"New data confirms Hubble’s finding and refutes current theories of planet formation in the universe’s early days."
(Try, try again.)
"Back in 2003, the Hubble Space Telescope spotted signs of a massive planet orbiting an ancient star. This discovery didn’t add up — such old stars from the early universe were thought to lack the heavier elements needed to build planets. According to existing models,

the disks around these stars should vanish quickly, leaving no time for planets to grow—or even form. But there it was!)
"Webb confirmed that planet-forming disks in NGC 346 not only exist but are surprisingly long-lived. This groundbreaking discovery supports Hubble’s earlier observations and forces scientists to rethink how — and when — planets form in the universe."
"Stars from that era contain only trace amounts of heavier elements — critical building blocks for planets."
(Opps.
Knowledge paradox on display.
The more you know?
The more you don't know.)
"This unexpected discovery challenges existing theories about how and when planets can form."
“With Webb, we have a really strong confirmation of what we saw with Hubble, and we must rethink how we model planet formation and early evolution in the young universe,” said study leader Guido De Marchi of the European Space Research and Technology Centre in Noordwijk, Netherlands."
