Abstract
In the present study, we analyze in combination the principles of special relativity and the phenomenon of the aberration of light, deriving a system of equations that allows establishing the relationship between the angles commonly involved in this phenomenon. As a consequence, a transformation factor is obtained that generates two solutions, one of them with the same values as the Lorentz factor. This suggests that due to relativistic aberration, an apparent double image of celestial objects could be obtained. On the other hand, its functional form does not establish a limit to the speed of the reference frames with inertial movement.
