Bauman achieves this by employing an informative but neutral tone‚ detached diction‚ and common ground to place his reader on the level of an objective scholar

1.0 Introduction The Hubble Space Telescope was created by and named after astronomer Edwin P. Hubble. He was known for his creation of Hubble’s Law which is used to calculate the rate at which the universe is expanding. He is also known for his discovery of the galaxies that are outside the Milky Way. The Hubble Space Telescope is a large telescope that is placed in orbit around the earth. Scientists have figured out that by placing a telescope in space‚ putting it outside of earth’s atmosphere
