Do keep in mind that the frequency of light is reference frame dependent. So, for examplefor example, the cosmic background microwave radiation would appear as a concentrated gamma radiation source 'in front' to an observer with ultra-relativistic speed relative to the CMB.

In other words, light emitted from a body of a particular frequency in that body's frame of reference, could have arbitrarily low or arbitrarily high frequency in relatively moving reference frames.
