"The Spectroscope--an instrument for detecting the spectra of stars--can also be used to measure the speed of stars, in conjunction with the Doppler Effect. According to this physical law, when a star approaches the Earth, all the lines of the spectrum shift toward the violet end; if a star is speeding away from the Earth, the spectral lines shift toward the red zone."Issue: The Flash #106 (April-May 1959)
