Hubble Space Telescope
Spectral Line Redshift/Velocity

Input either the Redshift or Velocity of the source.

Values in range -20 to +20 are taken to be Redshift.

Values below -20 or above +20 are taken to be Velocity in km sec -1.

Positive velocities (and redshifts) indicate motion away from observer.

Calculations are fully relativistic.
