Satellite HDST and Starshade - High Definition Space Telescope with starshade: High Definition Space Telescope (HDST) is an observation satellite project. Located at the point of Lagrange 2, this satellite equipped with a 12-metre mirror would offer images of the universe 24 times more accurate than those obtained by the Hubble space telescope. It could be accompanied by a blackout (starshade), places in space a long distance from it to block the light of a star in order to observe its exoplanets. The High Definition Space Telescope is almost twice the size of a tennis court. By using a football-field-sized shade to block the light from distant stars, the HDST could directly observe exoplanets;
