Science Feature Narrative Lead

The topic that I am discussing is space imaging and the significance of analyzing bodies in deep space. I will draw my audience in with the narrative about Edwin Hubble and his discovery of the red shift in the universe. This story is scientific, but it doesn’t have equations and turnoffs to average readers. The story is a good segway into the topic because then I can mention how he has a space telescope named after him and that several of these telescopes provide us with all of the information we have about outer space. There is not much conflict that can be addressed in the story, but Hubble probably got criticism from the scientific community as most large and revolutionary ideas sustain. This conflict can be poised as an uphill battle in the narrative and show the readers that Hubble persevered and showed the scientific community that his ideas were right. The ideas had a huge impact on the community and the way that people went about looking at the stars. I can incorporate this context to help illustrate the importance of space imaging to the audience. I think this story can effectively gather interest to a broad audience because space is a topic that gathers natural curiosity and because the story addresses the topic of the paper well. Space is the vast unknown that everyone in the world sees and admires. Curiosity to know what is up there is hardwired into everyone and the right introduction can gather interest quickly.
