Why does a planet keep missing its star?
Orbit as Continuous Free Fall
Compare Euler and velocity Verlet, vary launch speed, and expose numerical error through energy drift.
Acquiring signal
Instrument bay
These browser labs reproduce the scientific path of the executed notebooks without running arbitrary Python. Predict first, move one control, then explain the difference.
Why does a planet keep missing its star?
Compare Euler and velocity Verlet, vary launch speed, and expose numerical error through energy drift.
How does a spectrum reveal composition?
Fit absorption features, inspect residuals, and see how blending makes an inference unstable.
Can a one-percent dip reveal an unseen world?
Generate a light curve, search periods in a worker, fold the data, and infer a planet-to-star radius ratio.
