    The document provides steps to solve for the position of the binary star system η Coronae Borealis at the year 1980. It begins by providing the orbital parameters and epoch of the system. It then outlines the following steps: 1) Convert all angles to radians 2) Use Kepler's equation to solve for the eccentric anomaly 3) Convert the eccentric anomaly to true anomaly 4) Calculate the separation, x and y coordinates, and position angle using the true anomaly and orbital parameters 5) The final position is at a position angle of 318.424° and a separation of 0.411 arcseconds from the primary star.

    4. Convert the answer to radians by
    π
    multiplying

    M = 37.78776157 x /180
    M = 0.6595208564 radians

    5. Change the angle unit to radians

    6. Solve for eccentric anomaly (E)


    using Kepler’s Equation
    E n−esin En−M
    En +1=En −
    1−ecos E n

    *Let E0 = M
    *Repeat the operation several
    times until the values repeat.
    E0 = M = 0.6595208564 rad
