**Announcing the whereabouts of the electron - using the radiating electric field**

An interesting illustration of the electric field from an electron is described here:  [The Electromagnetic field in Space-time (by Ed Lowry)][1].

From the "bullet" idea mentioned there, where the electric field can be illustrated as a series of points or bullets sent off in all directions with regular intervals at the propagation speed of the electric field in the media. In its simplicity it brilliantly displays how the electric field is perceived. It is relativistic. 

In reality it is just information traveling in straight lines sent out from a moving object.

Fig 1. The field from a static electron as dots sent off in all directions.

From a static electron an observer will sense a diverging constant electric field.

Fig 2. The field from the electron at constant speed.

If the electron moves past an observer at constant speed, the field will be straight lines but skewed in direction of motion. The deformation or tension of the field now causes a proportional magnetic field. I bet, at a point the time derivative of the varying magnetic field, induces the exact same electric field that created it.

Fig 3. The electron is moved back and forth like in an radio antenna

And finally, if the electron accelerates or oscillates the electric field will display having a wave form and for the first time except when the electron was created energy is not only stored as flux energy, but the energy also moves outwards in the field. 

Applied in 3D space and coloring the electric curl, this would look even more spectacular.
