If you have no idea what the basis for a claim is (other than the equivalent of "liberals say so"), then please find out first, reconsider it with an open mind, and only then consider posting it.
(Unindented reply) Hello EvanW, I went and checked and we do not have a radial velocity page on this site. I will definitely have to put creating that page on my "to do" list since it is an important concept in astronomy. To answer your question though, in short, radial velocity speed at which an object is moving away from or toward an observer along the line of sight. We calculate this by observing displacement of spectral lines from their normal position in the observed object's spectra. Blueshifted if the object is moving towards us, redshifted if its moving away. The larger the blueshift or redshift, the larger the radial velocity. I hope that helps. --[[User:BMcP|BMcP]] 15:17, 20 January 2010 (EST)

:BMcP, on this site when someone states something as true, he should be able to explain ''why'' he thinks it is true. It's not enough to say the equivalent of "my assumptions are the same as that of liberals and atheists and I don't even know what those assumptions are." If you have no idea what the basis for a claim is (other than the equivalent of "liberals say so"), then please find out first, reconsider it with an open mind, and only then consider posting it.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 16:41, 2 February 2010 (EST)
