Welcome to our video 1E in the "Exoplanet Detection" series! This video explores Kepler's Equation, as part of the Celestial Mechanics section.
In this video, we are going to go from 2D to 3D - afterall, planets can orbit in arbitrary orientations around their star so here we use some geometry to generalize previous results.
