Also, light you observe from distant objects is apparently slightly blueshifted (compared to what it normally looks like).

By observing the stellar background for a few weeks, you realize that there are several planets orbiting your object. Where are you? A) You are on the surface of Earth.
B) You are on the surface of a planet that is somewhat more massive than Earth.
C) You are on the surface of a white dwarf.
