Suppose a system S consisting of a cubic lattice of meter sticks and synchronized clocks, for example, the eight clocks closest to you in Figure 1-13, moves from left to right (the +x direction) at high speed. The meter sticks parallel to the x direction are, of course, contracted and the cube would be measured by an observer in a system S' to be foreshortened in that direction. However, recalling that your eye constructs images from light waves that reach it simultaneously, not those leaving the source simultaneously, sketch what your eye would see in this case. Scale contractions and show any angles accurately. (Assume the moving cube to be farther than 10 m from your eye.)
