-- 400 nm shifted to 430 nm . . . longer than it should be; "red shifted"; moving away from Earth
-- 610 nm shifted to 580 nm . . . shorter than at source; "blue shifted"; moving toward Earth
-- 512 nm shifted to 480 nm . . . shorter than at source; moving toward Earth
-- 670 nm shifted to 690 nm . . .longer than at source; moving away from Earth
Now I'd just like to ask one more itty bitty question, that you can think about while you're on this subject: Astronomers really do this. They measure how much the wavelength CHANGED, from the time it left the original source until the time they detect it. But HOW do they know what the wavelength WAS when it left the source ? ? ?
THIS is the part that blows my mind !
A couple of things, if the shuttle burned all of it's fuel before entering Earth's atmosphere then that means that the shuttle was accelerating towards Earth until it ran out of fuel. At that point, there is little to no air resistance (friction) by the lack of an atmosphere so it keeps accelerating due to Earth's gravitational force. The closer the shuttle gets to Earth the stronger the gravitational pull the shuttle experiences. Note that, once the shuttle reaches Earth's atmosphere it will cause significant amount of friction and thus will cause the shuttle to slow down.
Answer: Nervous system!
Explanation:
The nervous system sends and receives electrical messages all through out your entire body to instruct it on what to do or help send messages to the brain about what’s happening to that certain area.
