Question
Explain why Hubble's observation of red shift in light from distant galaxies led him to the discovery that the universe is expanding.
Answers
That is how you get a red shift: by having the light source move away from the observer. The only other source of red shifts is increasingly high gravitational fields, but there is no evidence of that
