James Webb Space Telescope's stunning 'Phantom Galaxy' picture looks like a wormhole

That headline is pretty misleading - there seems to be no story content that says anything about there being any actual scientific indication of a wormhole in that galaxy. It is just somebody's personal imagination of what they think a wormhole should look like, and it only looks like that with a specific choice of visual "rendering" parameters being applied to the actual data acquired by the Webb instruments.

Maybe the headline should have been "Judy Schmidt imagines a wormhole when rendering Webb data to visual formats".

If there is any more objective indication of a wormhole, it needs to be explained what that is in the story.
