A spaceship is flying a distance of 5 light hours, for example from Earth to the planet Pluto. The speed can be regulated with the upper buttons.
The applet demonstrates that the clock in the spaceship goes more slowly then the two clocks of the system in which Earth and Pluto are motionless. Source code available. Foreign language versions available.
