Lesson 3: Final Argument

Key Idea.

Section 1

Constructing the Final Prediction

Key Idea

A complete argument synthesizes the unit's concepts.

  • Claim: Prediction about Kepler-47c.
  • Reasoning: Applying Straight Lines (light paths), Scale (shadow size), and Alignment.

The reasoning should conclude that while possible, the binary light sources make full eclipses much rarer and shorter than in our solar system because it is difficult to block two separated light sources simultaneously.
