It's simply showing red-shift on a big, big stage. The Big Bang explosion was so massive that most things we can see in the universe are still moving away from us. Some things nearby -- planets or stars -- are moving closer. So, cosmological red-shift means that light stretches as space expands. This is one of the defining proofs for the The Big Bang Theory as well as that the Universe is expanding.
