🚀 Relativistic Starflight: Aberration, Doppler Colour and Headlight Beaming Lab (2D)
What a starship pilot sees near the speed of light: relativistic aberration squeezes the sky ahead, the Doppler shift recolours the stars and an isotropic lamp becomes a headlight. Includes 1 g flip-and-burn trips with a Minkowski diagram.
