For those who are lacking in this area of physics a “blue shift” occurs when an object is moving at relativistic speeds (a measurable fraction of the speed of light) toward the viewer. There is also a red shift if the object is moving away at a relativistic speed.

Ah, thank you, makes sense.
Is that why the panorama of stars turns blue on “Space Balls” when they hit “Ridiculous Speed”?
I love how they explained this on the Big Bang Theory.
best joke I’ve read in weeks, love it.
