Let c be the speed of light. I have a mirror in the north facing me but angled at 45 degrees north of east. I shoot a beam of light north towards it. But right before I send the beam the mirror has a velocity v towards the east. When the beam strikes the mirror does it reflect off at a right angle from the direction the beam was first shot (like it does when the mirror is not moving) or does it reflect off the mirror a different angle [like 90-arctan(c/v) degrees south of east]?
