RE: The Sirens Song - Doppler Effect - Redshift and Blueshift.

in #science7 years ago

Great post!

This phenomenon was observed as a red-shift of a galaxy's spectrum. This red-shift appeared to be larger for faint, presumably further, galaxies. Hence, the farther a galaxy, the faster it is receding from Earth.

Would that mean that at some point, a visible star/galaxy's light would be so red-shifted that it moves out of the visible spectrum? So basically, would the night sky be darker for the naked eye in the future?

Sort:  

Yes, that can happen. Frightening thought that eventually in the far far far future it is possible that we will have no stars. :(
