Spectral analysis of starlight reveals that stars behave as black bodies with temperatures determined by their peak emission wavelengths (Wien's Law), and that each element produces unique spectral lines. The Doppler effect causes wavelength shifts in starlight based on relative motion, with annual variations observed as Earth orbits the Sun. Proper motion measurements show stars have tangential velocities across the sky, while radial velocity calculations from spectral line shifts reveal stars move toward or away from us. These observations demonstrate that stars are not fixed points but have complex motions through space, including binary systems and galactic orbits around supermassive black holes, all of which are incompatible with a geocentric universe model.
