Anders this is so cool!

This got me started, thanks.  Off to the races!

In the old days before the internet, we worked out equations like this.  Now
notice I first Googled, then asked my community of gurus (found the answer
that way) but didn't start with trying to derive the equation.  The object
lesson was not missed: next time, calculate first, wait for that approach to
fail, then look up the answers.  I was lazy because biology isn't my area of
expertise.  Had it been an orbit mechanics question, I mighta calculated
first.  Now... no more lazy for the spikester.
