That's weird': James Webb Space Telescope spies a strange galaxy outshining its stars

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.

Galaxy-GS-NDG-9422-Spectrum-Webb-NIRSpec-1536x1280.jpg

This comparison of the data collected by the James Webb Space Telescope with a computer model prediction highlights the same sloping feature that first caught the eye of astronomer Alex Cameron, lead researcher of a new study published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.
The bottom graphic compares what astronomers would expect to see in a “typical” galaxy, with its light coming predominantly from stars (white line), with a theoretical model of light coming from hot nebular gas, outshining stars (yellow line). The model comes from Cameron’s collaborator, theoretical astronomer Harley Katz, and together they realized the similarities between the model and Cameron’s Webb observations of galaxy GS-NDG-9422 (top). The unusual downturn of the galaxy’s spectrum, leading to an exaggerated spike in neutral hydrogen, is nearly a perfect match to Katz’s model of a spectrum dominated by super-heated gas.
While this is still only one example, Cameron, Katz, and their fellow researchers think the conclusion that galaxy GS-NDG-9422 is dominated by nebular light, rather than starlight, is their strongest jumping-off point for future investigation. They are looking for more galaxies around the same one-billion-year mark in the universe’s history, hoping to find more examples of a new type of galaxy, a missing link in the history of galactic evolution.
