Scientific paper

The importance of teaching a clear definition of the ``observer'' in special relativity is highlighted using a simple astrophysical example from an exciting subject area of current research. Astrophysical applications of special relativity complement idealized examples with real applications and very effectively exemplify the role of a finite light travel time.
