1. Martin Cordiner:

   The diffuse ISM was historically considered too harsh and tenuous an environment for appreciable abundances of large molecules to occur, prior to the detection of C60, the largest known molecules in space were only 12 atoms in size. Our confirmation of C60 + shows just how complex astrochemistry can get, even in the lowest density, most strongly ultraviolet-irradiated environments in the Galaxy.

2. Rohan Naidu:

   It is potentially the most distant galaxy ever, but we can't tell if it is the oldest, specifically, we might be observing it as it was ~ 300 [ million years ] after the Big Bang. It could have just formed recently, or could have formed even farther back – we can't quite tell yet.

4. Kotaro Kohno:

   The more massive a galaxy, the more massive the supermassive black hole at its heart. So the study of these galaxies and their evolution will tell us more about the evolution of supermassive black holes, too, massive galaxies are also intimately connected with the distribution of invisible dark matter. This plays a role in shaping the structure and distribution of galaxies. Theoretical researchers will need to update their theories now.
