What is the correct astrophysical term? Is it "red shift" or "redshift". Should the stuff that's here now be split into different entries?

I think both terms are in use. However, from searching at xrefer.com it seems that "redshift" is the most common. --css

Yes, "redshift" is the usual term. But it would probably be a good idea to cross-reference it from here anyway. --Zundark, 2001 Sep 29

Red shift is a specific example of Doppler shift, right? But this page implies that Doppler shift only applies to sound, not light. --Carey Evans
