The Andromeda Galaxy red shift is -301 km/s

Which actually means it is blue shifted and is heading towards us at about 100 to 140 kilometres per second

Can a red shift and a blue shift exist on the same object at the same time?

No, red shift and blue shift are opposite phenomena caused by the Doppler effect. Red shift occurs when an object is moving away from the observer, while blue shift occurs when an object is moving towards the observer. It is not possible for an object to exhibit both red shift and blue shift simultaneously.


Does the speed of light allow the Andromeda Galaxy to emit a blue shift?

There is some blueshift in the Andromeda galaxy as it is moving toward us. The speed of the Andromeda Galaxy relative to the sun is about 300 kilometers per second or about 0.1% the speed of light. The blueshift would be detectable by instruments but not to the human eye.


The Andromeda galaxy show is a blue shift in its spectra What does this tell us about its motion relative to the earth and the rest of the soloar system?

The blue shift in the spectrum of the Andromeda galaxy indicates that it is moving towards the Earth and the rest of the solar system. This is because the light waves from the galaxy are compressed as it moves closer, causing the wavelength to shift towards the blue end of the spectrum.


What is the red shift of hydrogen?

The red shift depends on the relative motion of the emitting source and receiving detector. Hydrogen per se has no red shift. There is hydrogen with great red shift (in stars in galaxies far away that are moving rapidly away from us).


What does red shift show?

The red shift shows the velocity with which an object is moving away from the earth. The red shift of an object is correlated to its distance from the earth and so it is also a measure of the distance.

Why is light from the Andromeda galaxy is affectedly blueshift?

because when the blue shift hits the red shift they complete a reround in the galxey


Do galaxies shift near or far away from earth?

Most galaxies have a red shift away from us - meaning they are moving away from us. However, the Andromeda galaxy has a blue shift, which means it is moving towards us. In about 2.5 billion years time, the two galaxies will merge.
