What does the redshift tell us about the universe?
Redshift is a phenomenon where light from distant galaxies appears redder than expected due to the expansion of the universe. It tells us that the universe is expanding and provides evidence for the Big Bang theory. By studying the redshift of galaxies, scientists can understand the rate of expansion and the age of the universe.
What does the red shift tell scientists?
The redshift tells scientists how fast a star or galaxy is moving away from us.
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 are galaxies classified based on their characteristics?
Galaxies are classified based on their shape, size, and structure. The main types of galaxies are spiral, elliptical, and irregular. Spiral galaxies have arms that spiral out from a central core, while elliptical galaxies are more rounded in shape. Irregular galaxies do not have a distinct shape. Additionally, galaxies can be classified based on their activity, such as active or passive galaxies.

How did Hubble tell the universe was expandining?
By the redshift of the galaxies. In general, the farther away a galaxy is from us, the faster it moves away from us.
What are the observations that tell us that the universe is changing?
Mainly that galaxies that are very far away (i.e., from the distant past) look different to galaxies that are near-by (from the more recent past).
Why is red shift and blue shift important to the earth?
Redshift or blueshift is a change in the frequency of the light you receive, compared to the frequency at which it was emitted. A redshift is a reduction in frequency; this basically means that the object that emits the light is moving away from you.
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 can you find in other galaxies?
i can tell that there are many galaxies beyond the milky way like magalang and matulungin
What does the red shift tell scientists?
The redshift tells scientists how fast a star or galaxy is moving away from us.
How do you tell if lover wants it over?
They get distant, but you have to see it.
What did redshift tell Hubble about the universe?
The redshift was not "invented" by anyone. It is a natural phenomenon that has always been with us. It was the Austrian mathematician and physicist Christian Doppler who first described the effect in the year 1842. The idea was latched onto by astronomers who (eventually) applied it to observations of more and more distant galaxies. These observers found that by taking the colors of the observed light and shifting them up, the light looked "more normal" to the observers. It was then easy to deduce that the galactic light sources were receding, and the the speed of recession could be calculated based on their redshift. Links can be found below for more information.
How old are the stars in spiral galaxies?
A spiral galaxy is just a type of galaxy but I can tell you that the stars in the middle are the oldest and the ones on the outside are the youngest.
Do all galaxies have planets in?
Probably, but impossible to tell as we are only just seeing planets within our own galaxy.
