Forgetting to remove the telescope lens cap is not usually the
problem.
The answer to this multiple choice question is "red shift" which
is actually a useful phenomenon in viewing and analyzing the light
from very distant stars. Light is shifted in wavelength by the
movement of stars toward or more typically AWAY from the observer,
or by moving through strong gravitational fields.
