Problem 36.63

A rocket travels in the x-direction at speed 0.60c with respect to the earth. An experimenter on the rocket observes a collision between two comets and determines that the spacetime coordinates of the collision are 1x, t2 = 13.0 * 1010 m, 200 s2. What are the spacetime coordinates of the collision in earths reference frame?
