Question 4 • 2001310 Earth Science Sem 1 - Pearson
When one star passes in front of the other from our point of view, it blocks some of the brighter star’s light. This causes the system’s observed brightness to dim periodically, which is the defining feature of an eclipsing binary. A wobbling binary is identified by motion that makes a star appear to shift back and forth.
