When stars or galaxies are moving away from the observer, you will notice a redder shift in the color of the body.

How is the universe like rising raisin dough?

Stars and galaxies in the universe are moving away from one another in a manner similar to the way in which raisins in a ball of dough are moving away from one another.


What year did Edward Hubble hypothesize that planets and stars are still moving far away from each other?

First, this is not about planets and stars, but about entire galaxies and galaxy clusters.Also, the term "still" is not appropriate. The discoveries by Hubble and others showed that galaxies move away from one another in the first place. Also, he did not "hypothesize" this; what Hubble did is to collect observational evidence, and make some statistics.


How does the sun move along the ecliptic among the stars?

It is not really a case of the star moving in the stars, but us moving around the sun. As we do so, different stars appear to be behind it. If you take any object and stand a distance away from it and then walk around it while always looking towards it, what appears to be behind it changes as you go around it. If you face away from it and do the same thing, what you are looking at also changes. That is what happens as we orbit the sun. The sun appears to move in the stars and what we see when we face away from it at night also changes during the year it takes us to go around it. The sun and our solar system are also moving too, but we don't notice that as much.


What light has the same causes as the pitch of sound?

Stars in the universe are all moving away from us, so their wavelength will be red shifted. When the source of a sound is moving away from us, the wavelength of the sound will increase, i.e. the frequency will lower. In both cases, this is known as Doppler shift.


Which has a higher frequency a star moving away from earth or towards earth?

I would think that current evidence suggests that the stars moving away from earth, some of them in far distant galaxies moving at unimaginably high speeds, are going much faster than stars moving toward us. The entire Andromeda galaxy is moving toward us and will collide with us in roughly 5 billion years, and it is not moving anywhere near as fast as the distant retreating galaxies.

How do you know stars are moving towards or away?

you don't, we ar ethe ones moving not the stars.


Are the stars moving away?

not all of them only the red ones


Why cant you see stars movement?

Stars are super far away from our sun. But the Earth moves around on its axis. So it looks like the stars are moving actually.


How does the color of stars from earth differ from their actual color?

Since the stars are not stationary in relation to earth, i.e. they are moving towards or away from the Earth, their light will be subject to Redshift (if they are moving away) or Blueshift (if they are getting closer). The faster they are changing distance, the greater the shift in wavelength.

What are shifts in the wavelengths of light of stars either approaching or moving away from earth called?

The Doppler effect.


Using the Doppler effect astronomers can determine a stars what?

How close and far something is from you.


Why do stars take so long to change?

The stars are light years away which is the distance light travels in a year. A light year is about 3x108km. The farther something is from you the slower they seem to travel so the stars don't look like the are moving. In reality, they are moving very fast.

Why do stars appear to move?

Some stars ARE moving towards us. The Andromeda Galaxy will collide with us in millions of years. The universe is expanding because of the "Big Bang", so almost everything is moving away from us.


Why are stars different coulors?

Different sized stars burn at different temperatures. Different temperatures produce different colours. Stars that are moving away from us will shift their colours towards the red. This is called "Red shift".


Is matter still moving away from the explosion of the big bang?

The question is wrong in two ways:The Big Bang is not an explosion. It is an expansion of space.Matter has never been moving away from the Big Bang. The space between stars and galaxies is expanding.
