The '''redshift''' of a given object is a measure of the amount that the wavelength of its emitted or reflected electromagnetic radiation has increased. This increase in wavelength is prevailingly interpreted as due to the relative motion of a source with respect to an [[Scientific observation|observer]]; a [[light]] emitting source moving away from an observer will have its spectrum shifted toward longer (in optical light, redder) wavelengths. In practice this is analogous to the [[Doppler shift]]ing of sound waves emitted from a moving source. Light emitted from a source moving towards an observer will experience a blueshift.  In the case of redshift, however, most of the redshift is believed to be due not to the object moving through space, but to the expansion of space itself.
