Calculate the position of Pioneer 10 as of January 2009 relative to the sun. Pioneer is headed toward the star Aldebaran in the constellation Taurus. Find the distance from the sun to Aldebaran in meters: make a logarithmic scale: and plot the positions of Aldebaran, Pioneer 10 as of January 2003, and Pioneer 10 as of January 2009. At 12.24 km/s, how many years will it take Pioneer 10 to reach Aldebaran?
