The ground observer shown here sees the cans explode at the same time, yet the observer in the van sees the can on the right explode first. Suppose instead that the cans were side-by-side, one on the driver's side of the van and the other on the passenger's side. If the ground observer again saw the cans explode at the same time, what would the observer in the van see?
