"By using ultrafast lasers, high-speed cameras and precision-timing systems, we mimicked relativistic speeds and made the Terrell-Penrose effect visible for the first time. Our results were published in Communications Physics in May 2025."

Scientists at TU Wien and the University of Vienna have, for the first time, visualized the Terrell-Penrose effect, showing that objects moving at relativistic speeds appear rotated due to light travel time differences.
