What can you infer about the narrator from this passage in The war of the Worlds

We can infer that he can communicate scientific issues “at its nearest distance only 35,00,00 of miles sunward of them” . He is an intelligent person and has done some research into the topic “And looking across the space with instruments and intelligences that we have scarcely dreamed of...” He is a detached and unemotional person who mostly focuses on the facts.
The narrator may also be described as well-educated for he uses long fancy words “with a cloudy atmosphere eloquent of fertility” and complex descriptions “..with glimpses through..navy-crowded seas”.
