... When you look at distant galaxies they don’t actually seem redder. The speed of light is too fast for us to be able to see a colour change. We see red shift as a movement of spectral absorption lines. The dark lines should always appear in the same place, as the atoms can only absorb certain w ...

The cross has been thought to have been caused by a jet of high speed plasma which confines radiation from the accretion disk to a pair of oppositely directed cones of light that ionize gas caught in their beams. In simple terms, it is the ab ...
