Active vs. Passive in Astronomy

✨ Writing Prompt

Imagine you are writing a review of a recent discovery in exoplanet research. Start by summarizing the key findings using both active and passive voice constructions. For example, in the active voice, you might say, 'Astronomers detected a new exoplanet using advanced imaging techniques.' In the passive voice, you could state, 'A new exoplanet was detected using advanced imaging techniques.' Write a paragraph summarizing at least three major points from the discovery, ensuring you include at least three sentences in active voice and three sentences in passive voice. After that, reflect on how the voice changes the tone and clarity of the information presented.
