34. Scientists observing a faraway star use Newton's law of universal gravitation and Kepler's laws of planetary motion to map out its motion. Scientists notice that periodically the star does not follow the predicted path. The star most likely does not follow the predicted path because 6) the scientists do not have an accurate measurement of the mass of the star Newton's law of universal gravitation does not yield accurate predictions for faraway objects 6:) Kepler's laws of planetary motion do not apply to the motion of stars 6)) there is probably a large planetary object nearby whose gravitational pull is not being taken into account (9 there is probably a large star nearby whose gravitational pull is not being taken into account
