1. All are moving toward Earth, with nearby galaxies moving faster than the distant galaxies.
2.All are moving toward Earth, with distant galaxies moving faster than the nearby galaxies.

Number 2. There is a direct relationship between the speed and the amount of shift. More shift = more speed.

It would clearly be (2). And this is going to happen next weekend because I'm having this huge party at my house and I've invited all the galaxies.
