E2-46: ECLIPSING BINARY STAR MODEL - SPHERES
- E2-46
- Illustrate the orbits of stars in an eclipsing binary.
- The model consists of two spheres, each representing a star, which are mounted on the ends of a dowel rod. The rod can be rotated, showing how eclipses can occur and at what period the orbital velocities of the stars can be found.
