Question

A nova is a sudden, brief brightening of astar. Suppose Earth astronomers see two novas occur simultaneously,one in the constellation Orion and the other in the constellationLyra. Both novas are the same distance from the Earth, 2.5 x10^3cy, and are in exactly opposite directions from Earth.Observers on board an aircraft traveling at 1000 km/hr on a linefrom Orion to Lyra see the same novas, but note that they are notsimultaneous. (a) For the observers on the aircraft, how much timeseparates the nova? (b) Which one occurs first? (Assume that Earthis an inertial reference frame) A nova is a sudden, brief brightening of astar.
