12 A comet that was seen in April 574 by Chinese astronomers on a day known by them as the Woo Woo day was spotted again in May 1994. Assume the time between observations is the period of the Woo Woo day comet and its eccentricity is 0.9932. What are (a) the semimajor axis of the cometβs orbit and (b) its greatest distance from the Sun in terms of the mean orbital radius $R_P$ of Pluto?
