In the equation z = v/c, where v is the galaxy's velocity (in km/sec), c is speed of light (300,000 km/sec), z is usually called the redshift.
Why is z called redshift? Why not blueshift?

is a subatomic particle that has the type and magnitude of the
charge equal to an electron, but has a mass 207 times the mass of
the electron. These negative muons can be attracted by protons and
form hydrogen-like structures called muonic hydrogen atoms.
