The finished pieces of folded paper simulated a 25 meter star shade that works in conjunction with a telescope in space to help identify planets orbiting stars. Sigel helped design the shade, which needed to fold down into a 4-foot diameter space when not in use, while working at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. (Valley News - James M.
