Redshift Runner

Estimate the redshift of a galaxy by sliding the spectral template until its lines match the observed spectrum.

How to play

Drag the template markers over the spectrum until the Hα, Hβ and Ca II K+H lines line up with the observed absorption lines, then press Check. An estimate within 0.01 of the true redshift counts as a discovery.
