| Dec 16, 2021 at 18:15 | comment | added | m4r35n357 | Good point! In that case the answer is still nothing (but at least safe!) because as well as the red shift you will get the opposite of relativistic beaming, which will dim the object too (although it will appear bigger)! Also bear in mind that part of my comment above was about detecting high-speed motion with human eyes. | |

| Dec 16, 2021 at 17:21 | comment | added | m4r35n357 | I always find these questions a little amusing, although I study them myself off & on. What I do is mentally substitute "near light speed" with "the speed of a bullet" ;) IOW what your human capability eyes will see in practice is nothing, and if you remain in its path that will be permanent! Still want to see an answer though. | |

not sure, but looks like a thought experiment to me
