Perhaps the side that has a lower frequency is moving away from us,
and the side that has a higher frequency is moving away from us, and
the frequency difference is due to doppler effect. However, that may
not mean that the entire sun is spinning, because the sun has a fluid
surface. If it is really due to doppler effect, then we could only
tell that the surface is spinning.
