Yes, Eric, but is the rest of what he said of merit? If
light loses energy as it leaves its star's/galaxy's gravity
well, and then regains energy as it enters our gravity
well, is this -energy/+energy pretty much a balanced
effect? Does one cancel out the other? Or is there an
offset, an imbalance, to some degree?

happy days and...
starry starry nights!
