At appreciable fractions of the speed of light, star positions apparently start to shift forward. Stars to the front start to appear slightly more blue (blue-shifting) as the wavelength decreases (because you are traveling toward them) and stars behind you gradually redden as the wavelength lengthens (red-shifting). At high percentages of the speed of light, stars and other radiation sources seem to slowly converge in ever-shrinking disks in both rearward and forward directions. At just under the speed of light, these disks will have shrunk to virtual points and will glow from the brilliance of background radiation to the front (left over energy from the big bang blue-shifted up to the visual spectrum...all stars long since having blue-shifted well beyond visual range) and gamma rays from the rear (red-shifted down to visual range). To the sides you would see absolutely nothing.

Aberration would take place, meaning that the objects behind you and next to you ( if edmitting light of course ) will appear in front of you. Also if you were travelling let's say in the city, houses next to you would appear very distorted ( bent like creating a dome ) and houses close to you ahead would appear further away.

This occurs clearly at 0.999999 the speed of light but nothing appears when you've reached 100%

Also Stars let's say in front of you will be blue shifted and those behind you will be red shifted. Also you would age more slowly.

The problem is you wouldn't be able to see these things as you would have to be a massless object to be able to.. For a photon travelling at the speed of light the universe is so thin it cannot "see" anything. No Time or Space exists for it!
