Percival lowell’s claims of a martian civilization generated great public interest, but other scientists of his time were highly skeptical of these claims. which two of the following statements (which are all true) explain why other scientists of the late 19th and early 20th centuries rejected lowell’s claims?

Answered.

Explanation:

Lowell's canals did not appear in photographs of Mars taken through telescopes.

Lowell's canals followed perfectly straight lines for thousands of kilometers.

If the canals had been real, they would have shown up in photographs. Moreover, as discussed in the Extraordinary Claims box, real canals would be expected follow natural contours of the surface, rather than going in perfectly straight lines.
