TL;DR Summary

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has encountered a sensor glitch in its Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) during a routine performance monitoring and calibration procedure. MIRI is one of the two most important components of the telescope and plays an important role in the images it captures. The glitch is specifically more visible while capturing lights in longer wavelengths. NASA will be taking a systematic approach to solve the problem and continue MIRI observations as planned.
