My dime-store theory is that there would always be red shift, however tiny,
in any object moving away from you. Regardless of the fraction of the speed
of light it may be travelling.
It might be a challenge to determine whether the red is due to movement, or
is naturally there anyway.
Are there any blue shifting phenomena out there?
