A comet orbits a star in a highly elliptical orbit. An astronomer takes a very large number of photographs of the comet at completely random times over thousands of orbits. For each photograph, the astronomer records the comet's angular position
θ relative to the star. The angle is defined such that
θ=0∘ corresponds to the point of closest approach (periapsis), and
θ=180∘ corresponds to the point of farthest approach (apoapsis).
Which of the following best describes the probability distribution of the recorded angles
θ?
