Its not rare per se NASA expects an impact about every month. this one was larger than their calculations, but that "significant uncorrectable damage" won't affect the pictures or the scientific work. also all damage to the telescope is uncorrectable due to the location of the telescope. If you read NASA report and not sky news which doesn't even link the report you would know. https://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/2207/2207.05632.pdf https://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/2207/2207.05632.pdf
