That is, assume you are very near the speed of light. Assume also you have a powerful telescope on board that lets you observe a certain location on Earth. Moving towards Earth, you are, at each point in time, capturing light as it was a bit more recent compared to the points you left behind in your travel. Would this not mean that you'd see fast-forward action in play at that location you're observing? Would this not be aided if we also add the assumption of relativity for time, and suppose that time inside the ship has slowed down so the perception of light collected by the telescope becomes even more dramatical? Anybody with knowledge on such similar phenomenon?
