A yet-to-be-built spacecraft starts from Earth moving at constant speed to the yet-to-be-discovered planet Retah, which is 20 lighthours away from Earth. It takes 25 h (according to an Earth observer) for a spacecraft to reach this planet. Assuming that the clocks are synchronized at the beginning of the journey, compare the time elapsed in the spacecraft’s frame for this one-way journey with the time elapsed as measured by an Earth-based clock.
