The Hubble redshift in atomic spectra of distance cosmic objects, discovered by Edwin Hubble around 1929, is claimed as a source of evidence for the [[Big Bang theory]].<ref>Edwin Hubble (1929).

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 15: 168–173.</ref> The redshift, the expanded wavelength of light, suggests that these objects are moving away from Earth due to the expansion of the universe. It also suggests that the universe is undergoing accelerating expansion for an unknown reason.
