In addition to the Doppler effect in relative motion, a red shift can be caused by a gravitational field, according to General Relativity. It can be observed when light travels form a strong gravitational field to a weaker field. This effect has been measured in electromagnetic waves, and must be accounted for in navigation satellites such as the GPS constellation.
