The first astronomer to discover that a galaxies red-shift was larger the further away it was was Edwin Hubble in the 1920s.

The first scientist to describe red-shift in stars was actually Hippolyte Fizeau in 1848, though he was a physicist and not an astronomer.

That light should be effected in this way was suspected by Christian Doppler (after whom "The Doppler Effect" is named) as early as 1842.

Who discovered 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 the red shift in stars the same effect that causes sound waves to change pitch as an object moves towards or away from an observer?

The red shift in stars was first discovered by astronomer Vesto Melvin Slipher in the early 20th century. He observed that the spectral lines of distant galaxies were shifted towards longer wavelengths, indicating that these galaxies were moving away from us.


When were infrared waves discovered?

They were discovered by a man called William Herschel in 1800. He was a musician and an astronomer.

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.
