Han Solo and Chewie fly the Millenium Falcon (mass of 100,000 kg) into an orbit around a 1 million solar mass black hole at a periastron (closest distance) distance of 20 Schwarzschild radii (i.e., 20xR5). They have an apastron distance of 25xRs. What are the periastron and apastron distances in AU? What is the semi-major axis in AU? What is the period of the orbit in years? What is the eccentricity of the orbit? What is the Millenium Falcon's velocity at periastron?

**Black Holes** Han Solo and Chewie fly the Millennium Falcon (mass of 100,000 kg) into an orbit around a 1 million solar mass black hole at a periastron (closest distance) distance of 20 Schwarzschild radii (i.e., 20xRₛ). They have an apastron distance of 25xRₛ. - What are the periastron and apastron distances in AU? - What is the semi-major axis in AU? - What is the period of the orbit in years? - What is the eccentricity of the orbit? - What is the Millennium Falcon’s velocity at periastron? **Image Description:** The top-right corner features an artistic image of a black hole, with a luminous accretion disk of bright light swirling around it, demonstrating the intense gravitational pull and radiant energy emissions associated with black holes.
