The James Webb Space Telescope caused some amount of controversy in the cosmological space. The way the universe appeared through its sensors appeared to conflict with what we had previously learned through observation and other studies.
But ... after taking some time to really evaluate the results, and how they relate to, say, what we see with the Hubble Space Telescope, scientists are re-thinking what they observe, and maybe there is no cosmological crisis after all.
It would appear that the old and new findings likely do agree, but IMHO its about perspective. You might think about it in the same way that you think about relativity. The location of the observer is a factor in understanding that theory - much like the positioning of the various spacecraft helps us to understand the universe.
