Who discovered the red shift?

In 1848, Hippolyte Fizeau first noted a red shift in stars. In 1912, Vesto Slipher first noted a large red shift in nebulae. In 1929, Edwin Hubble published his findings that the size of galaxy's red shift was proportional to its distance from our Earth.


Who discovered blue shift?

The blue shift phenomenon was discovered by the American astronomer Edwin Hubble in the 1920s. He observed that the light from distant galaxies appeared shifted towards the blue end of the spectrum, indicating that these galaxies were moving away from us. This discovery provided crucial evidence for the expansion of the universe.
