redshift

1. A change in the wavelength of light, in which the wavelength is longer than when it was emitted at the source.

2. A displacement of the spectrum of a celestial body toward longer wavelengths that is a consequence of the Doppler effect or the gravitational field of the source.

3. A measurement of a celestial body's redshift equal to the ratio of the displacement of a spectral line to its known unshifted wavelength and used especially to calculate the body's distance from earth.
