Space comms? Speculation

So, in the past few weeks or so, Wikipedia's current events page has been filled with the usual Covid/Ukraine BS, but with several strange astronomical news reports.

On March 21, NASA said they discovered their 5000th exoplanet. On April 4, they found a planet they say closely resembles Jupiter. Odd for them to assume what the planet looks like already!

On March 30, NASA announced the discovery of a star "28 billion" light-years away. They named it Earendel, Old English for "morning star." I.e. one of Lucifer's names.

And then, today, NASA said they found the farthest-known galaxy, "13.5 billion" light-years away.

Comms? Exoplanet > Star > Galaxy = + > ++ > +++? Going up the chain? From a drip to a flood? Idk, I just see patterns and I get blown away.

At the very least, what are the chances NASA discovers a milestone exoplanet, star, and galaxy, within a few weeks of each other?
