... Observers looking at an object that is moving away from them see light that has a longer wavelength than it had when it was emitted (a redshift), while observers looking at an approaching source see light that is shifted to shorter wavelength (a blueshift). ... By measuring the amount of the shift to the red, we can determine that the bright galaxy is moving away at 3,000 km/sec, which is 1 percent of the speed of light, because its lines are shifted in wavelength by 1 percent to the red. ...

. You can leave text in its present location and move a copy of it to a different location. This is useful when you have a special paragraph that you want to repeat in a number of locations. To copy a block of text: . 1. Define the 'region' . 2. Type the M-C instruction to 'copy' the 'region'. 3. Move the cursor to the place where you want the copied text to go. 4. Type ^Y to 'yank' the text. A copy of the text moves from the 'kill' buffer and appears at its new location.

Figure 6. The squares show the telescope defocus data from August 15 (Figure 5) plotted as a function of time. For the defocus data the y-axis is in units of ?m. The circles show the telescope altitude in degrees as a function of time. As expected from the good linear correlation seen in Figure 5, the data very much look like they are driven by altitude changes. ... Second, notice that the defocus data consists of pairs of points which were taken at nearly the same telescope altitude. ...
