+The Doppler Effect is a phenomenon that appears when something that emits some kind of wave moves in relation to the observer. If the emitter and receiver move away from each other or get closer to each other, the frequency at which the receive receives the waves will be distorted. If the two move away from each other, more distance is created between each emitted wave, which will appear to the receiver as if the frequency has been reduced. If the two move towards each other, the waves will be compressed as there is less distance between each, appearing to the receiver as if the frequency is higher. This concept has important applications for long-distance communication, for example in spaceflight.
+====== Explanation ======
 Imagine a rectangular swimming pool. If hit the water close to your end of the pool, you create a water of water that will expand from your end of the swimming pool towards the other end of the swimming pool. Now imagine you follow that wave and hit the water again just behind the wave. You now have two waves following right behind each other moving towards the other end of the pool.
