27. binaRieS Eclipsing and CPM •  So much Kepler data! •  Already identified wide variety of systems •  New systems every day •  Thousands of potential Tatooines!
28. •  Not enough Kepler data! •  Measuring distances is hard (i.e. these aren’t the stars you’re looking for) •  Crowded fields are hard •  But… what would a Tatooine really look like? •  So much Kepler data! •  Already identified wide variety of systems •  New systems every day •  Thousands of potential Tatooines!
