Question

select the text that has a more objective tone. no planet or star or galaxy can be typical, because the cosmos is mostly empty. the only typical place is within the vast, cold, universal vacuum, the everlasting night of intergalactic space, a place so strange and desolate that, by comparison, planets and stars and galaxies seem achingly rare and lovely. outer space is just what its name implies. it is the void that lies beyond the uppermost reaches of the atmosphere of earth and between all other objects in the universe... the principal environmental characteristic of outer space is the vacuum, or nearly total absence of gas molecules. from carl sagan, cosmos, copyright 2002 by random house and from national aeronautics and space administration, the outer space environment in suited for spacewalking

Explanation:

The first text uses words like "strange", "desolate", "achingly rare", and "lovely" which are subjective descriptions. The second text simply states facts about outer space such as "It is the void...", "The principal environmental characteristic... is the vacuum".

Answer:

The second text (Outer space is just what its name implies. It is the void that lies beyond the uppermost reaches of the atmosphere of Earth and between all other objects in the universe... The principal environmental characteristic of outer space is the vacuum, or nearly total absence of gas molecules.) has a more objective tone.
