Описание к видео JWST Takes First Direct Image of an Exoplanet | Exoplanet Radio ep 21

#jwst has 248,000 microshutters that can open and close individually and when used in unison, create a mask that can cover the disk of a star. There are five masks on the infrared camera and four on the infrared spectrograph. When the light from the bright host star is blocked by these masks, the reflected light from the planet can be seen.
