Separate three physical causes before translating a wavelength shift into a story about motion or expansion.

A light wave passes through scenes of relative motion, deep gravity, and an expanding galaxy field.
Vastward artistic reconstruction. The three mechanisms are separated explicitly in the interactive comparison.
