Do "starshades" make sense?
It's mentioned in this speculative space telescope video. The idea is to create an eclipse using a large, calculated shade which would allow a star to be occluded and planets around it to be seen. I get occluding the star, but how would a much, much dimmer planet be seen at all, even by a large telescope?
