Textbook Question
Chapter 5, Problem 26EAP
Does It Make Sense?
Decide whether the statement makes sense (or is clearly true) or does not make sense (or is clearly false). Explain clearly; not all of these have definitive answers, so your explanation is more important than your chosen answer.
26. If a distant galaxy has a substantial redshift (as viewed from Earth), then anyone living in that galaxy would see a substantial redshift in a spectrum of the Milky Way Galaxy.
