| Abstract | This article considers an old version of the classical pursuit problem as posed by Francis Godwin in 1599, who imagines a wedge of swans flying from the earth to the moon in twelve days, always flying at constant speed toward the moon. The return trip, during which the swans always fly toward the earth at the same speed, takes eight days. A little calculus is used to analyze the consistency of these flight times using both an earth-moon model and a sun-earth-moon model. (As Provided). |
