Suppose you are at a point (x0,y0) in space. There is a planet at position (x1,y1) orbiting in a circle a distance r away from the orbit center (x2,y2).
The planet has constant angular velocity as it orbits. You move at a constant speed towards the planet, and want to move in a straight line.
How do you determine how to reach the planet, traveling only in a straight line?
Thanks.
