Time Dilation Simulator

{{$t('general.by')}}
Clayton
C
Imagine a probe emitting a flash every second. How does time dilation affect how we perceive this flash if the probe is launched into space at a constant velocity of (10,000 km/s)? The circle on the left is flashing every second and is relevant to us. The circle on the right represents the probe continuing out into space and simulates how we would see it. Inspired by interstellar and the theory of time dilation. (10,000 km/s may not be a realistic velocity, but it is used out of convenience to see the change happen)
