James Webb Space Telescope recovers from 2nd instrument glitch
NASA’s powerful $10 billion space telescope is firing on all cylinders again.
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST or Webb) returned to full science operations on Monday (Jan. 30), recovering from a glitch that affected one of its instruments.
The Webb team conducted days of testing and evaluation after a “communications delay” on Jan. 15 caused issues with the telescope’s Near Infrared Imager and Slitless Spectrograph (NIRISS) instrument, according to a Tuesday (Jan. 31) statement (opens in new tab) from NASA.
“Observations that were impacted by the pause in NIRISS operations will be rescheduled,” said the agency in its brief statement, noting the instrument was recovered successfully on Friday (Jan. 27).

NIRISS was provided by the Canadian Space Agency (CSA), so personnel from NASA and the CSA worked alongside one another for troubleshooting. The initial issue was a “communications delay within the instrument, causing its flight software to time out,” according to a Jan. 24 statement (opens in new tab) from NASA.
NIRISS can normally work in four different modes (opens in new tab), according to NASA. The instrument may be tasked with working as a camera when other JWST instruments are busy. Alternatively, NIRISS can look at light signatures of small exoplanet atmospheres, do high-contrast imaging or examine distant galaxies.
Prior to the NIRISS glitch, an issue arose on another Webb instrument in August 2022: a grating wheel inside the observatory’s Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI). The wheel is required for just one of MIRI’s four observing modes, however, so the instrument continued observing during recovery operations. Work on recovering the affected mode, called the Medium Resolution Spectrometer, was completed in November.
In December, the JWST team also spent two weeks dealing with a glitch that kept putting the telescope into safe mode, making science observations difficult. A software glitch in the observatory’s attitude control system was pinpointed as the issue, affecting the direction in which the telescope points. The observatory bounced back relatively quickly from that problem, resuming full science operations on Dec. 20.

Wall Street totters after mixed earnings, trade halt glitch
NEW YORK, Jan 24 (Reuters) – Wall Street was mixed on Tuesday as a raft of mixed earnings took some wind out of the sails of the recent rally.
The session got off to an rocky start, as a spate of NYSE-listed stocks were halted at the opening bell due to an apparent technical glitch, which caused initial price confusion and prompted an investigation by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
More than 80 stocks were affected by the glitch, which caused wide swings in opening prices in stocks, including Walmart Inc (WMT.N) and Nike Inc (NKE.N).
“It looks like NYSE got on it real early,” said Joseph Sroka, chief investment officer at NovaPoint in Atlanta. “Now they’re trying to determine what opening trade prices were.”
“Everyone involved in trade settlements is going to have a long day today.”
All three indexes sputtered near the starting line, with little apparent momentum in either direction.
Fourth quarter earnings season is in full swing, with 72 of the companies in the S&P 500 having reported. Of those, 65% have beaten consensus, just a hair below the 66% long-term average, according to Refinitiv.
On aggregate, analysts now expect S&P 500 earnings 2.9% below the year-ago quarter, down from the 1.6% year-on-year decline seen on Jan. 1, per Refinitiv.
“Earnings don’t make a bull or bear case for the market yet, but there’s an anxiousness among investors to be long when the Fed is done raising rates,” Sroka added. “We’re hitting a ramp in the earnings cycle, and by next week we’ll have a lot more information on the direction of the market.”
Economic data showed shallower-than-expected contraction in the manufacturing and services sector in the first weeks of the year, suggesting that the Federal Reserve’s restrictive interest rates are dampening demand.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (.DJI) rose 60.69 points, or 0.18%, to 33,690.25, the S&P 500 (.SPX) lost 5.36 points, or 0.13%, to 4,014.45 and the Nasdaq Composite (.IXIC) dropped 28.39 points, or 0.25%, to 11,336.03.
Among the 11 major sectors of the S&P 500, industrials was down the most.
Intercontinental Exchange Inc (ICE.N), owner of the New York Stock Exchange, dropped 2.5% as SEC investigators searched for the cause of Tuesday’s opening bell confusion.
Alphabet Inc (GOOGL.O) shares dipped 1.8% after the Justice Department filed a lawsuit against Google for abusing its dominance of the digital advertising business.
Johnson & Johnson’s (JNJ.N) profit guidance came in above analyst expectations. Even so, its stock softened 0.3%.
Industrial conglomerates 3M Co (MMM.N) and General Electric Co (GE.N) both provided underwhelming forward guidance due to inflationary headwinds.
3M’s shares were off 5.1% while General Electric’s were modestly lower.
Aerospace/defense companies Lockheed Martin Corp (LMT.N) and Raytheon Technologies Corp (RTX.N) were a study in contrasts, with the former issuing a disappointing profit forecast and the latter beating estimates on solid travel demand.
Lockheed Martin and Raytheon were up 1.5% and 2.5%, respectively.
Railroad operator Union Pacific Corp missed profit estimates as labor shortages and severe weather delayed shipments. Its shares shed 2.7%.
Microsoft Corp (MSFT.O) is due to report after the bell.
Advancing issues outnumbered declining ones on the NYSE by a 1.16-to-1 ratio; on Nasdaq, a 1.06-to-1 ratio favored decliners.
The S&P 500 posted 27 new 52-week highs and 10 new lows; the Nasdaq Composite recorded 69 new highs and 21 new lows.

Bank of America glitch problems today: At least 1 says account wiped clean as customers report missing money, Zelle transfers
CHICAGO — Some Bank of America customers said money is missing from their accounts, including funds from Zelle deposits and transactions.
Rey Garcia has trusted Bank of America with his money for 20 years.
But, when he noticed the problem happening to others, he went to check his own account.
I was surprised like whoa,” Garcia said. “So I checked my transactions, I had like 15 different Zelle transactions. That was like a red flag for me right there because I dont remember doing all that in one day.
He says almost $700 went missing from his account. He called customer service with no luck getting a representative.
Garcia tells ABC13 he has pending transactions scheduled to come out Thursday for his bills.
Im going to have to go in there and dig in my savings account, which I dont want to use but these bills got to get paid, you know what I mean, he said.
A Bank of America spokesman told ABC7 San Francisco that the problem has been resolved and the deposits and transfers are starting to appear in customers’ accounts.
Wednesday morning, many customers took to social media to express frustration and try to find answers.
“What is going on over there, accounts are overdrawn???!!!!!” said one Twitter user.
“Where is my money!!! Account negative!!!!” said another.
DownDetector, a website that monitors the statuses of websites, said that “user reports indicate problems at Bank of America,” with the first user-submitted reports coming in at 1:42 a.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 18. Sixty-six percent of reports indicated there was an issue with “funds transfer.”
BofA customers on social media also report that when trying to place a call to customer service, they receive a message that their call cannot be completed due to “extenuating circumstances.” At one branch location in Houston, a line of more than a dozen customers waited for help, with several of them saying money was missing from their accounts. They’re telling ABC13 Houston that they’ve been told to call customer service, but they can’t get through to representatives on the phone, so they showed up in person.
“Has the entire phone customer service team been fired? I have been trying to reach anyone through the helpline for 20 minutes with no luck, even the fraud line is down,” tweeted one customer.
Bank of America put a warning on its app, saying: “Please note: Zelle transactions made between January 14 and January 17 may be delayed in occurring and posting to accounts as requested. Transfers will be completed and will appear in your account activity and balances as soon as possible. We apologize for any delays or inconvenience.”
The official BofA support Twitter account, “@BofA_Help,” responded to a customer complaint with: “We apologize for a delay that has affected some transactions. Transfers are being completed and will be posted in your account activity and balances as soon as possible. Please do not initiate a duplicate transaction.”
Because some are missing money that was sent through the in-app Zelle network, customers also tweeted at the Zelle help account. According to the “@ZelleSupport” account: “The Zelle app and network are up and running. As one of our partner banks, Bank of America is in full control of the Zelle feature in their app. We do not have access to the profiles, payments, or records of those associated with them.”
Senator Elizabeth Warren (D – Massachusetts) called on both Bank of America and Zelle to assist their customers, tweeting: “.@BankofAmerica and @Zelle are apparently failing customers again, with money somehow disappearing from accounts. This should be fixed immediately and customers should be compensated. I’ve called out serious fraud issues on Zelle and this is their latest failure.”
Bank of America currently has approximately 67 million consumer and small business customers in the United States. Zelle’s users was projected to hit 61.1 million in 2022, according to Insider Intelligence. Zelle, a peer-to-peer payment network, is owned by Early Warning Services, LLC, which is itself owned by Bank of America, Capital One, JPMorgan Chase, PNC, Truist, U.S. Bank and Wells Fargo.
Both Bank of America and Zelle have experienced a surge in fraud, with scammers tricking customers into sending them money via Zelle under the guise of “protecting” their funds at Bank of America.

A Software Glitch Forced the Webb Space Telescope Into Safe Mode
The Webb Space Telescope’s instruments have been in safe mode intermittently since December 7, but scientific operations resumed earlier this week, NASA said in a press release on Wednesday.
Webb was in safe mode—during which all the observatory’s nonessential systems are turned off, which means no scientific operations—multiple times in the last two weeks, the release stated. Though NASA says the issue is resolved and “the observatory and instruments are all in good health,” the agency also did not report the glitch until yesterday.
Webb is a $10 billion space observatory that images the cosmos at infrared and near-infrared wavelengths. It is a state-of-the-art telescope that has captured our attention in its first six months of scientific observations, revealing iconic structures like the Pillars of Creation in new light.
The NASA release says the “software fault triggered in the attitude control system,” the apparatus that guides where the observatory is pointing. That’s most directions, except that the telescope was turned away from the micrometeoroid avoidance zone in the spring, to protect the telescope’s mirrors. That maneuver came following a space rock strike that damaged one of the mirror panels.
The pauses added up to several days that the telescope could not do observations this month, NASA said. Now, science is fully back underway, and the Webb team is working to reschedule the observations affected by the glitch.
Yesterday, Webb posted the cosmic equivalent of a holiday card: an image of the spiral galaxy NGC 7469, which bears a resemblance to a wreath. The galaxy is 220 million light-years away and looks distinctly serene in Webb’s eye. Sharp diffraction spikes spread from the galactic center, where a supermassive black hole resides.
Besides seeing known objects in new ways, Webb has imaged light from the earliest corners of the universe, light which was too faint for older observatories to see.
One of Webb’s core scientific goals is to inspect ancient light sources—the earliest stars and galaxies—to understand how those objects emerged and evolved in deep time.
In other words, it’d be really nice if Webb could avoid safe mode, for the sake of science. But better safe than sorry, and now that the telescope is back to business, let’s hope it stays that way.

James Webb Space Telescope back to science operations after glitch
The newest, most powerful space telescope out there is back to work after a glitch blocked several days’ worth of science observations.
Mission personnel behind the James Webb Space Telescope (Webb or JWST) spent about two weeks battling a glitch that first appeared on Dec. 7, according to a NASA statement (opens in new tab). According to NASA officials, the glitch never threatened the telescope, and normal operations resumed on Tuesday (Dec. 20).
“The observatory and instruments are all in good health, and were not in any danger while Webb’s onboard fault management system worked as expected to keep the hardware safe,” NASA officials wrote.

JWST will mark one full year in space on Sunday (Dec. 25). It began science operations in July. Previously this year, the observatory has faced two other issues: In May, a micrometeoroid impact caused a little more damage than environmental models had predicted was likely, and in August the observatory’s Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) experienced an issue with one of its four observing modes.
However, the recent issue appears to be the first that has paused all science operations, across the observatory.
According to NASA, the trouble began on Dec. 7, when JWST’s attitude control system, which keeps the observatory protected from the sun and able to reach Earth, experienced a software glitch. The glitch sent the telescope into safe mode, a state in which a spacecraft turns off nonessential systems and hunkers down in a stable configuration while waiting for engineers to investigate an issue.
The observatory entered safe mode and recovered from it multiple times in the following days, the NASA statement implies.
“This event resulted in several pauses to science operations totaling a few days over that time period,” officials wrote. “Science proceeded otherwise during that time.” (The observations JWST missed will be rescheduled where possible, officials noted.)
The issue is now under control, according to the statement, after mission personnel “adjusted the commanding system.” Normal operations resumed on Tuesday (Dec. 20), just in time for the telescope to mark its first anniversary in space.
