Breaking Distant Light
NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE
In the distant universe, time appears to run slowly, a phenomenon called cosmological time-slowing. This effect causes light from far-off galaxies to shift toward the red end of the spectrum. By breaking up the light into its constituent colors, astronomers can measure this redshift and determine vast distances in the universe.
