Which type of radiation is NOT on the electromagnetic spectrum?

• Infared

• Microwaves

• Gamma

• Blueshift

Hubble's observations suggested not only is everything moving away from everything else but that all matter has taken the same amount of time to get where it is today. This best explains which:

• The Universe is expanding

• Galaxies are moving away from us.

• Galaxies are moving toward us.

• A and B
