Sunshield

NASA still do good work, between porkies, and among the good work they just did was an unwrappable sun shield. 13 years late, as is noted.

The aim here is to shelter an infrared telescope. The shield means the telescope stays frigid - near background temperature for space.

UPDATE 12/15/21: Yeah, this was as good as this original blog got; we'll spare you the rest.
