The European Space Agency's Gaia space telescope has suffered a pair of technical snags.
The telescope has spent its time in space precisely measuring the positions and motions of distant stars.
In April , a piece of space dust punched a hole into Gaia 's shielding, enough to allow a sliver of sunlight into its innards.
Engineers don't know what exactly caused the fault, though it coincided with the solar storm that lit up Earth 's northern skies with brilliant auroras.
