41. Balloon Universe V: 0 Conclusion Statements:
1. The dots on the balloon represent different galaxies.
2. All of the galaxies are moving away from each other.
3. We know galaxies are moving away from each other because the wavelengths emitted are longer , shifting them towards the red end of the spectrum. This is called red shift.
