Cosmological red-shift is caused when the space the light is travelling through is expanding. The more distant an object, the more it will be redshifted. Doppler red-shift is caused when light is observed from an object moving away from the observer. The stretching-of-space interpretation obscures aĬentral idea of relativity, namely that it is always valid to choose aĬoordinate system that is locally Minkowskian. Astronomers also use redshift to measure approximate distances to very distant galaxies. In 1920s, cosmologist Edwin Hubble found that farther a galaxy is in deep. The kinematic origin of the cosmological redshift. The greater the redshift, the greater the distance the light has traveled. Redshift is as a Doppler shift, or rather as the accumulation of many The cosmological redshift is an outcome of the fact that the space is expanding. The universe is expanding, and that expansion stretches light traveling through space in a phenomenon known as cosmological redshift.

In theoretical cosmology, the red-shift zcan be used as a coordinate in place of the radialcoordinater.7With this choice of coordinates, the compari-son of theoretical predictions with observational data is sim-plied.
