So, I am getting the impression that this article is talking about a relative brightness within a specific band of light frequencies in the infrared part of the spectrum. It would not make sense for the total emissions from gas clouds being heated by extremely hot stars to somehow emit more total energy than the stars themselves.

So, I suggest that this article needs some more explanatory text. Just focusing on the "wow factor" shortchanges the science.
