Use the scenario to answer the question.

An astronomer discovers a new galaxy using a telescope. The astronomer wants to investigate how the galaxy is moving relative to the Milky Way galaxy.

In one or two sentences, make a hypothesis about the movement of the galaxy and explain at least one way to test the hypothesis.
(2 points)

Hypothesis: The new galaxy is moving away from the Milky Way galaxy due to the observed redshift of its light. One way to test this hypothesis is to measure the redshift of the light emitted by the new galaxy and compare it to the redshift of other distant galaxies in order to determine if there is a consistent trend of increasing redshift with increasing distance.
