The shift of the hydrogen absorption spectrum of a galaxy provides evidence for the following:

  1. Motion of the galaxy
  2. Expansion of the universe
  3. The Big Bang theory

These responses relate to how the absorption spectrum can indicate redshift (or blueshift), which is tied to the motion of galaxies and also supports the understanding of an expanding universe and the origins of our universe as described by the Big Bang theory.
