Glitch
In pulsar astronomy, a glitch is a sudden discontinuity in the rotation period of a pulsar.
The 33 millisecond pulsar at the heart of the Crab nebula is a prolific glitcher.

Pulsar Glitch: A sudden change in the pulsar period due to a sudden shift in the crust of the neutron star (a "starquake").
A software glitch led to loss of contact with Phobos 1.
Phobos 2 carried the USSR flag 111 million miles to Mars orbit on January 29, 1989. It detected water vapor in the Martian atmosphere and sent back some photos.
A software glitch in August caused the craft to burn nearly half of its propellant, putting the probe in jeopardy for a few weeks until controllers could ensure a similar problem would not doom the mission.
One production glitch that was avoided from being televised was Uhura having white skin. "Someone in the paint department used Nurse Chapel's colors on Uhura, who turned Caucasian with the flip of a brush!" exclaims Malcolm C.

There had been only a few minor glitches in the early stage of the mission and, through the first two days and into the early part of the third, ...
There were two major glitches in the GP-B experiment:
The "polhode period change": a rigid body that is spinning about an axis that is not lined up with either the axis of the largest or smallest or the smallest moment-of-inertia will precess around ...
Sometimes a neutron star will spin up or undergo a glitch, a rapid and unexpected increase of its rotation speed (of the same, extremely small scale as the constant slowing down).
Every now and then, a ``glitch'' is seen in the pulse rate from a pulsar. The pulsar suddenly increases its spin rate. What causes this is the neutron star suddenly shrinks by about 1 millimeter.
Such a pulsar glitch is believed to be caused by a slight decrease in the neutron star's radius brought on by a "starquake.
Spirit, on the other side of Mars, resumed normal operations on May 23 after engineers diagnosed a software glitch that halted the rover's activities on May 21.
A first round of observations failed to detect the new object, a result which was initially reported as indicating an upper size limit of about 3500 km, but was later found to be due to a technical glitch, ...
pulsar, PSR 1913+16 or the "Hulse-Taylor binary pulsar" was discovered in 1974 at Arecibo by Joseph Hooton Taylor, Jr. and Russell Hulse, for which they won the 1993 Nobel Prize in Physics. Pulses from this system have been tracked, without glitches, ...
received some very positive reviews about many aspects of the game but was criticised for the number of glitches it contained that, given a lengthier software testing phase, should have been fixed.
Observations also reveal that the rotation rate of isolated neutron stars slowly changes over time, generally decreasing as the star ages and rotational energy is lost to the surroundings through the magnetic field (though occasionally glitches are ...
