As of 2008, the nearest planet found outside of our own solar system orbits the star Epsilon Eridani, only 10.5 light years from Earth. The planet’s orbit is an ellipse with a major axis
of 630 million miles and a minor axis of 449 million miles. Let Epsilon Eridani be at the origin of a coordinate system. Find an equation for the planet’s orbit, using millions of miles as the unit.
