∙ 11y agoThe red shift is a phenomenon that correlates to the Doppler effect.
Light has many of the properties that are commonly associated with a wave.
As an object moves closer to the observer, the waves eminating from it are condensed, and the opposite for an object moving away. Red light is a longer wavelength, so this means an object in redshift is moving away from the observer.
Red shift tells us an object releasing electromagnetic radiation is moving away due to a bump towards the infrared direction of the spectrum. Measuring the red shift can sometimes give us an estimated idea of how far away the object is moving. Adversely, an object with the same criteria moving towards us expresses a blue shift or a bump in the ultraviolet direction of the spectrum. This is the Doppler effect for light, the section of the spectrum changes just as the pitch of a train blowing its whistle does as it might pass you by on the tracks.

What does refreshing indicate to astronomers?
I don't think that "refreshing" is a common term in astronomy. If you mean "redshift", please ask a separate question.
What do you call people that study outer space and the solar system?
Mainly astronomers. But cosmologists and astrophysicists will also be interested in outer space.
How many constellations are recognized by astronomers?
88 constellations are recognized by astronomers.
Arab Astronomers determined that the earth was what?
Arab astronomers determined that the Earth is flat.
Why does southwest attract astronomers?
The dry area is a good place for the astronomers for telescopes.
Will astronomers do all the redshifts of the 100 billion galaxies in the universe?
Perhaps in the future astronomers will do all the redshifts of the 100 billion galaxies in the universe.
Can astronomers get all 100 billion redshifts for all 100 billion galaxies in the observable universe?
No, because it will be impossible for astronomers to get all 100 billion redshifts for all 100 billion galaxies in the observable universe.
Will astronomers measure redshifts of 100 billion galaxies in the observable universe?
No. We do not have time to make so many measurements.
What indicate redshifting to astronomers?
The object is moving away from the observer.
Do quasars have a redshift?
Yes, very large redshifts.
How can astronomers determine whether a star is moving toward or a way from earth?
They can do so by examining the light from the star. Doppler shift can indicate this

How can you list all the designations and redshifts of all 100 billion galaxies in the observable universe?
It is not possible to list all designations and redshifts of all 100 billion galaxies (cseligman.com/text/atlas/pgc00.htm)
Are you reley gowine to be suckt in to a black hole?
Astronomers indicate the probability of us all really going to be sucked into a black hole to be quite low.
Is there any other astronomers that are also scientists?
All astronomers are scientists.All astronomers are scientists.All astronomers are scientists.All astronomers are scientists.
What do you call people that study outer space and the solar system?
Mainly astronomers. But cosmologists and astrophysicists will also be interested in outer space.
The spectra of most galaxies show redshifts this means that their spectral lines are what?
shifted towards the red end of the spectrum
