    Isn’t it more of a blue shift / red shift situation, rather than scattering?

      No, it’s definitely atmospheric scattering. Blue and red shifting occurs when interstellar objects accelerate towards or away from us near the speed of light

          Or rather imagine the horror if the earth accelerated at such speeds DIRECTLY TOWARDS THE SUN 😬😂
