Announcement of recept dis- coveries has been fn circulation among scientists for some weeks, he said, but it has not yet beem published. Prof. Henry Norris Russe, of Behavior of Nebulae May Prove Einstein's Space ve Theory Princeton University, discussing the recent discoveries, said the new research started when fit was found that light rays from distant Nebu- Jae, or systems of luminous matter, did mot hold positions on the spect- rum that they would be expected to occupy. When this light was seperated into its constituent parts, each part appeared to have shifted away from the blue end the of spectrum toward the red end. The shift was worked out for ordinary circum- stances long ago and is well ynder- stood. When the source of light is receding from the earth at terrific speed, the wave length is increased and the light shifts toward the red end of the spectrum. When the source is aproaching the earth, the shift is toward the blue end. : |
