Redshift

By Stuart Clark

The light emitted by celestial objects can have its wavelength stretched in different ways before it is observed by astronomers. These stretching phenomena are collectively called redshift. They influence virtually all aspects of astronomy and even underpin the Big Bang theory of the creation of the universe.
