you dont understand... if “Galaxies” that are millions of light years across like ours is. showing up THAT small and blurry, any movemnet of 1 fraction of the size of the galaxy would equate to 50,000 to 100,000 years!!! these friggin people make it sound like clouds on your doppler example. that they see em move in real time!!

I’m sorry, that’s not how the Doppler effect works. It doesn’t matter how big or far away the source of light is. The light it gives off will shift to higher or lower frequency depending on its speed relative to the observer. This tells you how fast it is either approaching or receding. You don’t actually have to see it moving. This is how cops can instantly tell exactly how fast your car is going using a radar gun.

Speaking of understanding, the Milky Way Galaxy is about 100,000 light years in diameter, not millions of light years. Even in our own galaxy group which includes the massive Andromeda galaxy is only about 200,000 light years in diameter. Another in our galaxy group is M33 Triangulum Galaxy, and it only has a diameter of about 60,000 light years.

I captured this image of M33 Galaxy just last week. This object has little surface brightness and is not easy to capture. M33 is 3 million light years (18 Trillion Miles) away.
