What is the name of the scientist that calculated the formula for the red shift?
Edwin Hubble.
Which instrument allows scientist to see the red shift?
theanswer is space probes
What determines galaxy motion and distance?
One of the most reliable methods employed presently is using Hubbles Laws and Constant, utilizing the red shift. RED SHIFT A+LS (:
What is the relationship between red-shift and distant galaxies?
red shift is a distance and galaxies are planets. galaxies are also chocolate bars and red shift is not. thanks for your time. now go use your own knowledge and stop using google you gimps.
What is the opposite of the red shift?
The opposite of the red shift is the purple shift.
The red shift of visible light waves that is observed by astronomers on earth is used to determine the?
The speed of relative retreat of the star.
Which astronomer discovered the red shift?
The first astronomer to discover that a galaxies red-shift was larger the further away it was was Edwin Hubble in the 1920s.The first scientist to describe red-shift in stars was actually Hippolyte Fizeau in 1848, though he was a physicist and not an astronomer.That light should be effected in this way was suspected by Christian Doppler (after whom "The Doppler Effect" is named) as early as 1842.
When was The Red Shift created?
The Red Shift was created in 2005-06.
How do red shifts were used by cosmologists to determine that the universe is expanding?
A Galaxy's red-shift can be used to determine how fast it is travelling away from you. The opposite is "blue-shift" which is what happens when the Galaxy is travelling towards you.The first astronomers, such as Edwin Hubble, to analyse the light coming from distant galaxies discovered that almost all of them were red-shifted, indicating that they were almost all heading away from us. This was the first indication that the universe was expanding.
Are red stars old or new?
The color of a star does not directly determine its age. Red stars are large and a little less hot then the Sun. Scientists can use the color of a star to determine its heat and then using that and its mass determine how old it is.
Observation of the shift of a stars spectrum toward the red or blue enables us to determine the stars?
The star's velocity (away from us, or towards us).
How can you determine that you have an acid by using litmus paper?
An acid turns the blue litmus paper red.
