    Line of sight and star density question.

    This is blatant homework help that I don't know how to approach. Any hints would be appreciated. Suppose you are in an infinitely large old universe in which the average density of stars is n = 109 Mpc-3 and the average stellar radius is equal to the sun's radius is R = 7*108. How far, on...

    RK4 Solver Issue: Shoot the Moon with C Program

    Hey Folks, So I've been making an 4th order Runge-Kutta program for finding a way to shoot the moon with a spacecraft . However for some reason the RK4 part of the program does not work and I cannot figure it out. I've written it in C and attached the file. If someone who is more well...

    Graduating soon, need some advice.

    So I'm graduating from Michigan Technological University in the Spring with a bachelors in physics and I'm not sure what to do after. I'll be graduating with a 3.0 overall and a 3.2 in physics. I'm taking the general GRE tomorrow and I'll be getting my physics gre scores back this week though...
