Slipher from 1912 to 1914 studied the electromagnetic radiation of nearby spiral galaxies where he observed that wavelengths of yellow lines appear to be a little orange. C. More recent observation using powerful telescopes confirm that frequency of light from nearby galaxies and star clusters decreases as it is observed here on Earth. D.
