Okay, let's just say it's small (say, the size of a small car), moving at a max of say 10% c, on a path intersecting the Earth, and decelerating, so the drive is aimed directly at the observer on the Earth. As for where it is, how about just beyond the orbit of the moon. I guess my real...

As I understand it, a beamed core antimatter drive would produce thrust by annihilating matter and antimatter and ejecting the results of the annihliation via a magnetic nozzle. The usable results would be charged pions, which would decay into muons, correct? So my question is, if a...

Okay, thanks, I see what you mean about the phase. And now that I think about it, I guess they would not move in relation to each other at all, but stay in exactly the same relative positions. And since it's an equilateral triangle, the Earth and the Moon would be equidistant from the...

Hey folks, Can anyone tell me how the Earth and Moon would appear to an observer at the Earth-Moon L5 point? I'm guessing both the Earth and Moon would appear to be in the same "phase", but would they be close together? How fast would they change position relative to each other? And what...
