Section 1
Applying the Model to New Systems
Key Idea
To determine if eclipses happen in the Kepler-47c system (a binary star system), we apply our model: Source + Blocker + Receiver.
We must analyze how having two light sources changes the shadows.

Section 2
Binary Shadows
In a binary system, two stars create two separate light paths coming from different angles.
If a planet blocks light from Star A, light from Star B might still shine on the moon from the side.
