Screen Shots Click any of the images below for a full-size view. Optical aberration is deforming the lattice considerably, while the headlight effect illuminates it to appear much brighter than normal. If we swing to the right, what we see changes drastically. The lattice is no longer approaching us directly, but at an angle, and as such the Doppler and headlight effects are reduced in magnitude.
Optical aberration changes the apparent form of the lattice as well.
At a rough side view, both trends grow more noticeable. Now, as we move to a rearward view, the headlight effect spoils the fun as it renders the object too dark to see. The Doppler effect is doing likewise, shifting what little light we do see into the infrared range. Bye bye lattice. Here we have a 1957 Chevy Bel-Air, which is about to go slightly over the posted speed limit . . . . . .
