Number 61 (Story #4), January 3, 1992 by Phillip F. Schewe and Ben Stein GALAXY REDSHIFTS ARE BUNCHED , according to a new study of 106 spiral galaxies. Using a radio telescope to make the observations, Bruce Guthrie and William Napier of the Royal Observatory, Edinburgh, claim to detect a periodicity of about 37.5 km/sec in the distribution of galaxy velocities (computed from the redshifts) away from Earth. Such a periodicity would suggest that redshifts, at least those for the type of large spiral galaxies studied here, are not wholly related to the general expansion of the universe. This controversial notion will have to be tested in greater detail. (New Scientist, 21/28 Dec. 1991.)
