Found: The Fastest-Approaching Object in the Universe - Scientific American

Found: The Fastest-Approaching Object in the Universe - Scientific American: "Most of the universe is rushing away from us. It's not that we're particularly repellent; it's just that the universe is expanding, pushing most other galaxies away. Light from distant galaxies travels toward us through this expanding space, which stretches their light to longer, or redder, wavelengths. As a result, the spectra of most galaxies exhibit redshifts."
