The Andromeda Galaxy red shift is -301 km/s

Which actually means it is blue shifted and is heading towards us at about 100 to 140 kilometres per second

What is the difference between the cosmological and Doppler red shift?

Red shift is the change in the spectra of galaxies towards being more red than we would expect them to be. Doppler Shift results from galaxies being in motion away from us. Thus, the large Andromeda Galaxy has a blue shift, because it and our Milky Way Galaxy are being pulled towards each other due to gravity. Cosmological Shift results from the space between us and other galaxies growing larger over time, even though neither they nor our Milky Way Galaxy are in motion relative to one another.


The Andromeda galaxy unlike most other galaxies has?

It has the same things the other galaxies have i.e. stars planets etc . It's just that it is very big . Comments : I think the answer may be that Andromeda gives out light that is blue shifted instead of the red shift for most galaxies. So the answer is " a light spectrum that's blue shifted".


Does the speed of light allow the Andromeda Galaxy to emit a blue shift?

There is some blueshift in the Andromeda galaxy as it is moving toward us. The speed of the Andromeda Galaxy relative to the sun is about 300 kilometers per second or about 0.1% the speed of light. The blueshift would be detectable by instruments but not to the human eye.


What determines galaxy motion and distance?

One of the most reliable methods employed presently is using Hubbles Laws and Constant, utilizing the red shift. RED SHIFT A+LS (:


What is the red shift of hydrogen?

The red shift depends on the relative motion of the emitting source and receiving detector. Hydrogen per se has no red shift. There is hydrogen with great red shift (in stars in galaxies far away that are moving rapidly away from us).

Why is light from the Andromeda galaxy is affectedly blueshift?

because when the blue shift hits the red shift they complete a reround in the galxey


Do galaxies shift near or far away from earth?

Most galaxies have a red shift away from us - meaning they are moving away from us. However, the Andromeda galaxy has a blue shift, which means it is moving towards us. In about 2.5 billion years time, the two galaxies will merge.


What is the opposite of the red shift?

The opposite of the red shift is the purple shift.
