How would an astronomer explain the difference between the two spectrums?

• Hydrogen gives off light differently if the supercluster is larger

• Light traveling through space is warped by a black hole

• The supercluster is traveling away from us lengthening the light waves

• The stars in the supercluster is fusing a slightly different kind of Hydrogen than the sun
