Examples
-
At a distance on this scale of approximately one hundred and fifty metres space will be extending, carrying the galaxies within it there, at about the same speed that space conducts light, so that any light the galaxies emit will be red-shifted to be invisible - But here we are referring to the matter of mere size, so more of that another time.
-
From my understanding, material would be infinitely red-shifted at the horizon due to it's struggle against the hole's gravity.
-
If you start moving away from it, the pulsar will be red-shifted, which means that its frequency will go down and its period will be longer than T.
-
At a distance of approximately fifteen metres on this scale space will be extending, carrying the galaxies within it there, at about the same speed that space conducts light, so that any light the galaxies emit will be red-shifted to be invisible - But here we are referring to the matter of mere size, so more of that another time.

Also, light from the spacecraft will become increasingly red-shifted – potentially into almost-blackness.

Where the space at the point of the light's emission is receding at the speed of light, the wavelength 'shift' of light passing here will be at nul and, where emitted from sources receding at beyond the speed of light, the wave will reverse to become an inverse wave - though this will only be appreciated as light received from the increasingly receding light source then becomes progressively less red-shifted and finally progressively blue-shifted.

LC I agree… How the heck could those deeply red-shifted galaxies look so organised, ie. a few of the darker red ones older have such organised structure ..

The image shows that radiation from approaching gas, shifted to blue wavelengths left of the centerline, is suddenly red-shifted to the right of center indicating a rapidly rotating disk of material near the galactic nucleus.

However, though space extends at a rate relevant to its distance, the wavelength of light does not extend, so that the light in passing here is seen to be 'red-shifted'.
