Right about now you’re wondering, “What the heck is a redshift?”

Well, in space terminology, astronomers use the word redshift to measure how far away an object is traveling. When an object moves away from the Earth, it appears redshifted; the wavelength of its light is stretched into lower frequencies, which makes it look red.

What’s fascinating (and kinda scary) is the reality that the universe is continuously expanding, which means that light from most galaxies appears redshifted. And as the universe expands, so does Redshift’s editorial coverage—at the forefront of architecture, construction, infrastructure, and manufacturing technology.
