You can see light pass an object faster than the speed of light, correct?

You are traveling from earth to a star 4 light years away at 99% of light speed.



You can argue your time perception and length perception are different due to time dilation and length contraction, but regardless of what you throw in, nothing in relativity says 2 objects at rest on the same reference frame (in this case earth and the star)....are perceived as moving at different speeds from each other, no matter what inertial frame you're on...a fixed unchanging distance between 2 objects is a fixed unchanging distance between 2 objects.



So for light to pass the traveler at what appears to be the constant speed of light? And the traveler is moving from earth towards the star? Then that traveler cannot also see the light traveling from earth to the star as having passed planet earth at the speed of light. He would have to see the light beam passing earth at faster than the speed of light, or else he would see the light passing him at slower than the speed of light.
