Hey I am trying to find a way to find the position of a Red Dwarf star that is in an elliptical orbit at a certain time during it's orbit. I know the Red Dwarf's semi major axis which is 3 AU (astronomical unit) and it's period is 1896 days.
I've tried to do a simple using its orbit velocity and doing distance=velocity x time, but I wasn't getting answers that made sense. If anyone could set me on the right path of figuring this out would be great, thank you!
