Attiyah Zahdeh, would you please answer
Celestial Mechanic's questions?
If I may, I will extend them somewhat.
In the
Attiyah Zahdeh idea, what is the expected brightness of Venus, as seen from the surface of the Earth, as a function of time?
In the
Attiyah Zahdeh idea, what is the expected brightness of
the Apollo asteroids, as seen from the surface of the Earth, as a function of time?
In the
Attiyah Zahdeh idea, what is the expected brightness of the Galilean moons, as seen by the Pioneer 10 and 11, Voyager 1 and 2, Galileo, and Cassini probes, as a function of time?
