Glitch in James Webb Space Telescope instrument, but observatory remains healthy

The James Webb Space Telescope's instrument, the Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI), has experienced an anomaly in one of its observing modes, but NASA assures that there is no risk to the instrument's science capabilities. The anomaly may affect the amount of exposure time needed in the affected mode, but other modes of MIRI and the telescope's other scientific instruments remain unaffected. The observatory is in good health overall, and investigations are ongoing to address the issue.
