Process of ‘shifting’ and Id-ing the ‘new’ galaxy led me to ignore my conclusion for Galaxy F. I don’t understand how (-18) is answer and not (-2)?? Why is it different? But I had 9 correct letters, so I substituted. I can live with this anomaly🤨

Great puzzle! I noticed that the lay-out of each galaxy label was unique in its horizontal positioning and I wish that the answer required us to sort the shifted letters by the each galaxy's relative position (i.e. a nod to the light spectrum) rather than just reading the letters top-to-bottom but it was fun to learn about light and the Doppler effect!

Wow! As an astrophysicist, this was an awesome puzzle.

It is 18 off of where it should be, which is 571 on the Unshifted Reference Spectrum. Treating the alphabet like a circle and going back 18 lands on N.

Shouldn’t galaxy F be shifted to “D” instead of “N”? Shifting to N skips over 587 nm
