==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
'''Blue shift''' is the apparent change in the [[Visible Light|visible]] [[spectrum]] from an [[object]] towards the blue end due to the [[object]] moving towards the [[observer]].
===About Blue Shift===
: '''Blue shift''' can be seen by [[observing]] the [[Absorption Spectra|absorption spectra]] in [[light]] coming from an [[object]]. If the [[object]] is moving towards the [[observer]] the [[Absorption Spectra|absorption lines]] will be shifted towards the blue end of the [[spectrum]].
