Red shift data sHow is that galaxies are?
We can't be sure. The only thing we know for sure is that it could be explained asthe speed with which that galaxy is receding from us. If that's actually the causeof the red shift, then from all the red shifts that we observe, we have to concludethat all of the distant galaxies are receding from us, and the farther away one isalready, the faster it's receding. If all of that is true, then the whole universe isexpanding. This is the research that made Hubble famous.Well said, but there is another reason. Maybe the light is coming from a large star (gravity hole, red shift due to gravity).
A star whose spectral lines are shifted toward the red end of the spectrum?
In simplest terms, the shift of galactic spectral lines towards the red end of the spectrum would indicate simply that the galaxy in question is receding from the observer. This is an example of the Doppler effect, where the frequency is lowered (wavelengths become longer, and in this case energy of the photons is decreased) by the relative motion of the observer. The redshifting of galaxies in all directions became the primary evidence of an expanding universe (cosmological redshift). Because the expansion of the universe is fairly uniform in all directions, those galaxies that are most distant are receding the fastest and thus evidence the greatest amount of redshift. By contrast, if a characteristic spectral line of a galaxy or other object shifted towards the blue end of the spectrum (shorter wavelengths), it would be traveling towards the observer.
How do red and blue shift show movement of objects in space?
If the distance between us and a object emitting a wave (sound or light) is increasing, then the wavelength of the wave it emits will be red-shifted. If the distance is decreasing, it will be blue-shifted. This is true for a car driving towards us with its horn blaring, or a distant galaxy emitting hydrogen lines.
What evidence in 1956 that supports the big bang theory?
1) The existence, isotropy, and spectrum of the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation. It was predicted sixteeen years before it was detected, and has been found to be exactly as proponents of Big Bang Cosmology (BBC) say it should be. All other hypotheses are reduced to saying, "I know the CMBR is there, I just have no explanation for it." 2) The red-shift of all distant galaxies, with the size of the red shift being proportional to the galaxies' distance from us. All observations of this red shift support a Universe that was far denser about 13.7 billion years ago. 3) The ratio of hydrogen and helium in our Universe is exactly as predicted by BBC. 4) Quasars are distant from us (ie, far in our past), but none are close. 5) The ratio of isotopes with long half-lives to their decay products show none of the former existed prior to about 12 billion years ago. 6) No white dwarf stars -- which will remain stable for tens of trillions of years -- have been found older than about ten billion years. The evidence for BBC is as strong as the evidence that our Earth goes around our Sun.
What does the Hubble telescope deep field image show?
Galaxies. Billions OF billions of galaxies. To quote Isaac Asimov; "The Stars, Like Dust..."
The spectral lines of elements when observed in distant galaxies show a shift towards?
The red end of the spectrum.
Why are far distant galaxies not visibly younger and less well formed than nearer ones?
They actually are. Galaxies that are only millions of light years won't show much difference - that's too short compared to the age of galaxies. But there is definitely a trend in galaxies at distances of billions of light-years. Their metallicity is lower (i.e. they have had fewer supernovas to pollute the interstellar gas), and there is a greater percentage of disc galaxies (elliptical galaxies are thought to form by the collision of disc galaxies).

The redshift of light from distant galaxy provides evidence that the universe is?
The red shifts show the galaxies are under centripetal force and the red shift indicates the centrifugal force. This indicates that the universe is in continuity, the centripetal and centrifugal forces are in balance.
Galaxies that show redshift in color must be red in color?
No. You can figure out exactly what elements are in stars and galaxies by examining the color spectrum of the light detected; the frequencies of the bright and dark lines in the spectrum tell you what's what. But there's a problem. For distant galaxies, the light spectrum is wrong. The frequency lines of the spectrum are all too low. One possible explanation of the incorrect spectrum is that those stars and galaxies are MOVING AWAY from us, and that the spectrum is shifted toward the red end of the color spectrum because of the Doppler effect. So scientists believe that the "red-shift" on the color spectrum of stars and galaxies indicate that they are moving away. Not all galaxies show a red-shift; the Andromeda Galaxy, M31, shows a pronounced BLUE-shift, indicating that it is heading TOWARD us. In fact, scientists believe that the Milky Way and Andromeda will probably collide in about 3 billion years.
What Doppler shift do galaxies show?
Some nearby galaxies move towards us (blueshift), some move away from us (redshift). Galaxies that are farther away all move away from us (redshift); this means that the Universe is expanding.
Scientists' evidence for an expanding universe is called a because the light waves emitted by stars and galaxies are shifting toward the end of the visible color spectrum.?
Many objects observed in the universe show a red shift. It is believed that this red shift is caused by a Doppler effect - that is, that the objects are moving away from us at a significant fraction of the speed of light. If this is true, then it is evidence for an expanding universe.
What are galaxies which show no distinct feature or symmetry called?
Irregular galaxies show no distinct feature or symmetry.
What is the job the hubble space Telescope?
to take photographs of very distant galaxies, and show data of them to NASA. It is used, because there is too much light pollution in a lot of places on Earth, making it hard to use a telescope, but in space there is no light pollution (therefore, it can see the galaxies that we can't see on Earth).

Why is it important that light can travel through empty space?
Earth has a thick atmosphere, making it difficult to see details in objects being looked at in a telescope. While you could send lots of telescopes into space, the process takes time and money. Light rays like Infra Red can be used to cut through the atmosphere and allow you to see stars and planets on Earth's surface. Also, certain light rays can be used to see what objects in space are made of.
Is the gear shift on a 2004 Hyundai Tucson v6 supposed to light up?
yes.it has to light up in order to show you the gears at night time
