Hubble was the captain of every sports team, worked with and was offered jobs by nobel prize winners and the best astronomers in the world, could sing, was captain in the army, got every scholarship, went to college two years early.
Yet he didn’t give a single cent to his poor, struggling family? He neglected them and didn’t care when his mother died. So I don’t really like this guy, although he made groundbreaking scientific findings.

This book is like the career in science because there was astronomy and a very popular scientists. The piece that I could take from this fantastic book is about the galaxies and this fantastic astronomer. It could help us change about science because we could learn about the beautiful universe. The content in this book is related to what we previously have learned in science because we have learned the solar system and the astronomy in Trimester 1.
