The focal plane mask for the Roman Coronagraph Instrument

Summary edit

Description	English: The focal plane mask for the Roman Coronagraph Instrument, shown here, helps block starlight and reveal hidden planets. Each circular section contains multiple “masks” –carefully engineered, opaque obstructions designed to block starlight. Some masks are about the width of a human hair.
