Answer:

It shows that the galaxies are moving farther away.

Step-by-step explanation:

When light from the galaxies is shifted towards the longer wavelengths, it is called red shift. When light shifts towards the shorter wavelengths, it is called blue shift. Big bang theory states how the primordial universe started expanding from a hot and dense singularity, in the process of evolution of the universe.

The universe is expanding always. Galaxies that are a part of the universe keep expanding and move farther away from each other. The galaxies that are very far off appear to move much faster than the nearby galaxies.
