Wozniak: It is a known fact that the relative motion of the Sun and
Sirius is -5.5 m/sec as they are moving towards each other. It is not
known which is moving towards which. This is known from the frequency of
the light waves. If the Sun is moving towards Sirius, this shortens the
frequency as certainly as Sirius moving towards the Sun. Take just the
case of the Sun moving towards Sirius. Then, the frequency is shorter
because the speed of the starlight from Sirius is C + 5.5 m/sec.
