Description
The USS Avenger goes to warp, observing an example of the Doppler effect as she begins moving.

"The Doppler effect, named after Christian Doppler, is the change in frequency and wavelength of a wave as perceived by an observer moving relative to the source of the waves. For waves that propagate in a wave medium, such as sound waves, the velocity of the observer and of the source are relative to the medium in which the waves are transmitted. The total Doppler effect may therefore result from motion of the source, motion of the observer, or motion of the medium. Each of these effects is analysed separately. For waves which do not require a medium, such as light or gravity in special relativity, only the relative difference in velocity between the observer and the source needs to be considered." - Wikipedia

One of the things I really liked about Enterprise is that they showed the Doppler shift in stars as the Enterprise traveled at warp. Though typically shown as individual spectrums for every star, I thought that this was easier and a bit prettier. Hope you approve ^_^
