Default Why does the CEL disappear when I wrap tin foil around the O2 sensor

Why does the CEL disappear when I wrap tin foil around the O2 sensor in my test pipe? If I weld a tube around the O2 senosr so the hot gases aren't touching the O2 will the CEL stay off? Anyone know what happens when you take out the O2 and attach it on the outside of the pipe?

Its like magic huh? I don't really know how it works, we did that to my bubbies civic. We just pluged the hole for the sensor wraped the sensor in foil and let it hang.
