Science operations involving critical instruments have been halted due to damage to the James Webb Space Telescope in space. The world's most powerful observatory has got a technical glitch, and the science using the MIR instrument has been paused. The Webb Telescope, located 1,50,000 kilometers away from Earth, has stayed vulnerable to the harsh environment. The spacecraft has been observed with a Mid-Infrared Instrument(MIRI).
