What information can be inferred from the graph? SPS1a

• Distance from the Earth has nothing to do with an object's velocity.

• Objects in space do not significantly move.

• The closer an object is to the Earth, the faster it moves.

• The farther an object is from the Earth, the faster it moves.

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

• The star is traveling toward us, compacting the wavelengths.

• Light traveling through space is warped by the vacuum of space.

• The star is traveling away from us, stretching the wavelengths.
