The space agency says that the telescope should still do great science
James Webb Space Telescope was hit by a larger-than-expected micrometeoroid in May
Because of the impact, the mission team will have to fix the damage caused by the strike
The James Webb Space Telescope, or JWST, is NASA's next-generation space telescope. It is very powerful
Since its launch, at least four different micrometeoroids have hit JWST
Usually, a micrometeoroid is a small piece of an asteroid that is smaller than a grain of sand
NASA says that the strike, which happened between May 23 and May 25, has had a "slight effect on the data."
NASA expects JWST to be impacted by space particles over its lifespan; fast-moving rocks are a feature of deep space
