A robotic telescope observes starfields looking for stars whose brightness varies. It takes pictures of the fields when the weather is good and the field is in a good position in the nighttime sky. It has discovered 81 eclipsing binary stars.
Congratulations! You get STAR100. Your first job is to use the Mac Chart tool to discover which of the stars in the field is actually the eclipsing binary - it's a puzzling problem.
Your next job is to use the Mac.Period tool to measure the orbital period of the eclipsing binary to 6-digits accuracy. Once you learn how to deal with STAR100, there are 80 others you can try if you want to.
