... Under certain conditions, like those in the nucleus of a QSO, all atoms can be made to emit light at particular wavelengths. ... If that source is approaching the observer, the wave is squashed up onto itself making the wavelength shorter. ... This is redshift. ... You can see how the section of the QSO spectrum which we observe changes with redshift. ... We then see how far we had to slide the observed spectrum along the scale to make it match and that is the objects redshift. ... The 2QZ team . ...

System of astrometric databases of Pulkovo observatory. ... The purpose of these observations is the determination of precise coordinates of Solar system bodies, which is necessary for development and improvement of motion theories, and for studying the evolution of the Solar system. ... Accuracy of photographical observations is about 0.2-0.3 arcsec for equatorial coordinates and 0.1-0.3 for relative coordinates of planetary satellites, depending on object and observational conditions. ...
