Tired light models invoke a gradual energy loss by photons as they travel through the cosmos to produce the redshift-distance law. ... The tired light model can not produce a blackbody spectrum for the Cosmic Microwave Background without some incredible coincidences. ... So the CMB must have come from a far away part of the Universe, and its photons will thus lose energy by the tired light effect. ... Assume that the CMB starts out as a T = (1+z)*T_o = 2.998 K blackbody, which is the blue curve. ...

... BLUE STRAGGLER STARS are unusually hot and bright stars found in the cores of ancient star clusters known as globulars. ... BACKGROUND (from wikipedia): Blue straggler stars are stars in open or globular clusters that are hotter and bluer than other cluster stars having the same luminosity. ... There is evidence in favor of this view, notably that blue straggler stars appear to be much more common in dense regions of clusters, especially in the cores of globular clusters. ...
