I preserved all of the events O, A, B, C, D, E in WWoods original diagram, only changing the velocity of traveling twin from v = c/sqrt(3)≈ to v=0.6. But I added a second world-line (XYEZ) for a hypothetical destination "space-station" for the traveling twin, and events (F,G) on the "Earth's" worldline.

Events O, A, B, C, D are as discussed at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Twin_paradox/Archive_11#Maps_of_spacetime

New events: F (Event on Earth seen by traveling twin during turnaround) G (Observation of turnaround on earth) X (Event seen on space-station from earth at time of launch) Y (Launch observed from space-station) Z (Landing observed from space-station)

The fourth "in-between" frame has been converted from what appears to be a Loedel diagram with nonorthogonal x and t axes, to a Minkowski diagram drawn for an "in-between" velocity — Preceding unsigned comment added by JDoolin (talkcontribs) 15:24, 13 December 2015‎ (UTC)[reply]

Update image. Added axes: green (x,t) for inertial twin frame, red (x',t') for outbound twin frame, blue (x",t") for inbound twin frame. - DVdm (talk) 08:54, 14 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
