NASA Develop Spherical Occulter using Super-Black Carbon-Nanotube Coating to Study the Sun’s Corona

A team of NASA scientists are working on the development of an occulter, which blocks light from the sun, for use in a CubeSat mission to measure the sun's coronal mass ejections. To assist in the production of the occulter the researchers have been using carbon nanotubes to achieve the full absorption of light
