Redshift

From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.

Redshift works on the same principles as the 'Doppler effect' but it involves light instead of sound. If a galaxy is moving away, the light shifts upwards (gets stretched out). This is redshift. Eventually the light moves far enough up that it is out of our natural spectrum.
