   newbie question:   
      
   If you require "mirrors" that reflect all that the sun is throwing at   
   the probe to prevent it from frying, how can sensors within the probe   
   look at the sun?   
      
   And if the goal is to filter out 99.9999% so that sensors within the   
   probe still have something to measure, can one really have truly neutral   
   filters that will apply the 99.9999% equally to every type of   
   wavelength, particle and whatever radiation the sun is throwing at it?
