	ESA - Space Science - What is 'red shift'?
		The red shift of a distant galaxy or quasar is easily measured by comparing its spectrum with a reference laboratory spectrum.
		However, to be accurate, the red shifts observed in distant objects are not exactly due to the Doppler phenomenon, but are rather a result of the expansion of the Universe.
		Doppler shifts arise from the relative motion of source and observer through space, whereas astronomical redshifts are 'expansion redshifts' due to the expansion of space itself.

	COSMOLOGICAL RED SHIFT
		The dependence of the frequency shift of on the cosine of the angle made with the gravitational field is an approximation because of the fact that the photon's trajectory changes.
		This shift is proposed as the main cause of the cosmological red shift.
		The periodicity of the red shift whereby distant stars seem to show distances which show sudden jumps [7] would seem to suggest that there are quantum components to the effect of gravity on the red shift.

	red shift. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		Some red shifts are the result of the Doppler effect, i.e., of the relative motion of the earth and the object away from each other.
		All distant galaxies show a red shift proportional to their distance from the earth as a result of the general expansion of space-time (see Hubble’s law).
		Red shifts are also produced by gravitation (the gravitational red shift) in accordance with the general theory of relativity.

	Red Shift Riddles
		The fact that red shifts appear to be quantized has interesting implications for the study of the universe.
		This suggests that the red shift may be caused by something other than the expansion of the universe, at least in part.
		As noted earlier, a galaxys' redshift may not be a Doppler shift, it is the currently commonly accepted interpretation of the red shift, but there can be and are other interpretations.

	Doppler Redshift
		This shift is apparently a Doppler shift and indicates that essentially all of the galaxies are moving away from us.
		The measured red shifts are usually stated in terms of a z parameter.
		This red shift corresponds to a distance of 12 to 15 million light years, depending on what value of Hubble constant is used.

	THE RED SHIFT
		Redshift, change, or shift, in the light radiated by an object, such as a star or galaxy, that indicates the object’s motion.
		The light of an object moving away from an observer is shifted toward a longer wavelength, or toward the color red.
		If this same pattern appears but is shifted toward the red end of the spectrum, scientists know the object is moving away from Earth.

	Red Shift - Astronomy for Kids
		The second part of the red shift puzzle is a little more complicated, but you can understand it.
		The red end of the spectrum has a lower pitch, or frequency, than the blue end of the spectrum.
		After they have calculated how much the light is shifted either towards red or blue, scientists can then calculate how far away the object is and how fast it is moving either towards us or away from us.

		The consensus was that the shift was due to Doppler shift and that, because of the direction of the shift, the Spiral Nebula were receding.
		It must be pointed out that the wavelength shift versus time will probably never be able to be tested locally since the parameters of the measuring equipment change at the same rate as the parameters of the effect being observed.
		That is, both gravity and the Red Shift are caused by a small difference in the source and sink rates of space by the protons and electrons.

	6: Red Shift
		Specifically, the galaxies' light spectra were shifted toward the red end of the spectrum.
		In 1929 astronomer Edwin Hubble compared the galaxies' spectra with their distances, calculated using different methods, and showed that the amount of "red shift" was proportional to distance.
		Hubble and others realized that the most obvious explanation for the "red shift" was that the galaxies were receding from Earth and each other, and the farther the galaxy, the faster the recession.

		A redshift is a shift in the frequency of a photon toward lower energy, or longer wavelength.
		If the source of light is moving away from you then the wavelength of the light is stretched out, i.e., the light is shifted towards the red.

		Today, the Doppler shift, as it is also known, applies to electromagnetic waves in all portions of the spectrum.
		For example the spectral lines emitted by hydrogen gas in distant galaxies is often observed to be considerably redshifted.

		This prediction was tested in Harvard by looking at light as it fell from a tower (an experiment requiring enormous precision since the changes in the gravitational force from the top to the bottom of a tower are minute) and the results agree with the predictions from the General Theory of Relativity.
		A heavy object is denoted by a deformation of space represented by the funnel.
		As light leaves the vicinity of this object it is shifted towards the red: for a sufficiently compact and massive object a blue laser on the surface will be seen as red in outer space.

	Doppler Shift (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Observers looking at an object that is moving away from them see light that has a longer wavelength than it had when it was emitted (a redshift), while observers looking at an approaching source see light that is shifted to shorter wavelength (a blueshift).
		In the star which is at rest with respect to us, or in a laboratory standard, the line wavelengths are 393 and 397 nm from Ca II [ionized calcium]; 410, 434, 486 and 656 nm from H I [atomic hydrogen]; 518 nm from Mg I [neutral magnesium]; and 589 nm from Na I [neutral sodium].
		By measuring the amount of the shift to the red, we can determine that the bright galaxy is moving away at 3,000 km/sec, which is 1 percent of the speed of light, because its lines are shifted in wavelength by 1 percent to the red.

	Classroom Activity: Determining Red Shift in a Receding Star
		Other types of electromagnetic radiation like ultraviolet light, infrared light, radio waves and X-rays also travel in the form of a wave but at wavelengths to which our eyes are insensitive.
		Being blue-shifted or red-shifted doesn't mean that the light necessarily becomes blue or red.
		It means simply that the light's wavelength either is shortened (blue shifted) because the object giving off the light is approaching, or is lengthened (red-shifted) because the object is moving away from the observer.

	Redshift - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In physics and astronomy, redshift occurs when the visible light from an object is shifted towards the red end of the spectrum.
		More generally, redshift is defined as an increase in the wavelength of electromagnetic radiation received by a detector compared with the wavelength emitted by the source.
		Any increase in wavelength is called "redshift" even if it occurs in electromagnetic radiation of non-optical wavelengths, such as gamma rays, x-rays and ultraviolet.

		------------------------------------------------ The red shift is not due to the stretching of space or the expansion of the universe directly.
		Rather it is due to the Doppler shift, which says that the wavelength of any source of the wave increases as the source recedes and decreases as the distance of the source becomes closer.
