Breaking Distant Light
Astronomers measure the redshift of light from distant galaxies to determine their distances. This image shows the spectra of hundreds of galaxies, with their light broken into constituent colors. By analyzing these spectra, astronomers can measure cosmological time-slowing and map the vast universe.
