As the space telescope prepares to snap a photo,the light of the nearby star blocks its view.But the telescope has a trick up its sleeve:a massive shield to block the glare.This starshade has a diameter of about 35 meters—that folds down to just under 2.5 meters,small enough to carry on the end of a rocket.Its compact design is based on an ancient art form.Origami, which literally translates to “folding paper,”is a Japanese practice dating back to at least the 17th century.
