In 1848, Hippolyte Fizeau first noted a red shift in stars.
In 1912, Vesto Slipher first noted a large red shift in nebulae.
In 1929, Edwin Hubble published his findings that the size of galaxy's red shift was proportional to its distance from our Earth.

Christian Doppler, and Austrian Physcist .
Christian Doppler, an Austrian physicist, is credited with discovering the phenomenon of the Doppler red shift in 1842. He observed that the pitch of sound waves from a moving object changes depending on the object's motion relative to the observer. His theory was later extended to light waves to explain the red shift observed in the spectra of distant galaxies.
Vesto Slipher and Edwin Hubble were the first who discovered a red shift in nearby Galaxies and as telescopes improved the formula could be applied to more distant Galaxies. The instrument that determines red or blue shifts is called a Spectroscopy. Ans. 2 The person who discovered (and explained) red-shift in the light from other galaxies was Vesto Slipher. Edwin Hubble, using Slipher's observations, realised that the amount of red-shift was proportional to the distance of the galaxy being observed. He formalised this as "Hubble's Law". This was what led cosmologists to the conclusion that the Universe is expanding. (see * below) The instrument that shows a spectrum is a spectroscope; that which measures it is a spectrometer and that which records it is a spectrograph. The instrument that measures red-shift of a distant galaxy can be anything from a travelling microscope to a ruler, depending on the quality of the photographs. Spectroscopy is the name of a set of processes, like photography or cookery , not any particular instrument. * The larger stars/galaxies are visible from further away. The larger stars/galaxies have a larger red shift without regard to their distance from us. (re: larger means more gravity means more red shift)
The first astronomer to discover that a galaxies red-shift was larger the further away it was was Edwin Hubble in the 1920s.The first scientist to describe red-shift in stars was actually Hippolyte Fizeau in 1848, though he was a physicist and not an astronomer.That light should be effected in this way was suspected by Christian Doppler (after whom "The Doppler Effect" is named) as early as 1842.

The Hubble telescope did not discover that there is a red shift in the spectra of Galaxies. The telescope is named after the American astronomer, Edwin Hubble, who discovered the phenomenon in the 1920s.

The Red Shift was created in 2005-06.

The opposite of the red shift is the purple shift.
The red shift in stars was first discovered by astronomer Vesto Melvin Slipher in the early 20th century. He observed that the spectral lines of distant galaxies were shifted towards longer wavelengths, indicating that these galaxies were moving away from us.
No, red shift and blue shift are opposite phenomena caused by the Doppler effect. Red shift occurs when an object is moving away from the observer, while blue shift occurs when an object is moving towards the observer. It is not possible for an object to exhibit both red shift and blue shift simultaneously.
This phenomenon is called red shift.
