    Actually I think I figured it out. Ta = Tb, using this knowledge I'm using one of the Lorentz transformation equations to isolate for V.

    First Year Special Relativity Question

    Homework Statement Planets A and B are 10 light years apart in the reference frame of planet A. A deep-space probe is launched from A, and 5 years later (in reference frame A) a similar probe is launched from B. Does a reference frame exist in which these two events (a) are simultaneous and (b)...
