Question

Solve the following problem. Be sure to include all relevant equations and explain how you arrived at your answer. You MUST show a diagram.

You are the astrogator on a starship that has just left a space station one hour ago heading toward galactic East at half light speed. The captain receives orders listing the coordinates of a rendezvous with another ship as (1 light-hour North, 2 light-hours East). The coordinates, of course, are measured relative to the space station, and the captain wants them translated into coordinates relative to your starship. What do you tell him?
