NASA announced that one of Webb's seventeen observing modes is not functioning due to a hardware issue which is currently under review.
While the James Webb Space Telescope has been both a huge popular success and a highly effective research tool so far, not everything is perfect with the new observatory. This week, NASA announced that one of Webb’s 17 observing modes is not functioning due to a hardware issue that is currently under review.
