The student's essay accurately reflects the aim of the investigation in the title, which is clear and not too long. The title effectively differs from the research question and provides a statement that sets the context for the essay. The student outlines the area of research, purpose, and focus of the essay early on, establishing the context of the research question. Additionally, the chosen methods and materials effectively address the research question by referring to reliable sources and key publications in the area of astrophysics. However, the student needs to ensure that the physics principles relevant to the research question are described qualitatively alongside appropriate diagrams and sketches.
