Using the method of Mathematical Insight 'Finding Sizes of Extrasolar Planets', calculate the radius of the transiting planet. The planetary transits block 2.8 percent of the star's light. The star TrES-1 has a radius of about 89.7 percent of our Sun's radius. Correct, computer gets: 1.04E+05 30. [3pt] The mass of the planet is approximately 85.5 times the mass of Jupiter. Calculate the average density of the planet. Give your answer in grams per cubic centimeter. (Hint: Be careful with...

On February 7, 1999, NASA
launched a spacecraft with the ambitious mission of making a close
encounter with a comet, collecting samples from its tail, and
returning the samples to Earth for analysis. This spacecraft,
appropriately named Stardust, took almost five years to
rendezvous with its objective-comet Wild 2 (pronounced "Vilt
2")-and another two years to return its samples. The reason for the
long round trip is that the spacecraft had to make three orbits
around the Sun, and also...
