Cosmic Movement Detection is concerned with the difficult task of taking the images of sky through high powered telescope or satellite transmitted images and performing image processing in order to discover new galaxies, stars and other cosmic objects or to describe already known galaxies, stars and other cosmic objects. Description meant to describe the type of cosmic object under consideration, whether it's already been recognized previously or not, whether it's moving close to Earth or moving away from Earth. It has several applications astrophysics, astronomy and astroscience. Automating this process to a computer requires the use of various image processing techniques. The method which the present paper describes is based on Doppler Effect of light i.e. red and blue shifting property. Several factors like poor illumination, noise disturbance, viewpoint-dependence, Climate factors, Transmission and Imaging conditions can affect the algorithm working. This paper reports an algorithm for Cosmic Movement Detection using image processing and Doppler Effect of light. The present paper suggests Cosmic Movement can be detected checking the color of the galaxy and it can help in determining whether it's moving towards Earth or its moving away.
