The year 2024 offered me very exciting and magical experiences. I say magical because for little minds it was an exciting experience to watch celestial wonders beyond grasping power. The first-hand experience of seeing the artefacts and scientific things in the Museum excited us so much. Thus 2024 became a memorable year in my life.
Actually, I along with my sister (Akira) visited Birla Planetarium and Science Museum at Hyderabad last month.
Oh God, we were so excited about our virtual tour of the Sky and the physical feel of artefacts and scientific marvels at the Museum. The staff were kind. They explained many things about the galaxies and planetary motion. We literally felt that we touched the Moon and travelled in the sky observing the mysterious Universe. Great experience indeed! Those RARE artefacts and science exhibits offered good insight into science. This visit has prompted us to shift our liking to become space scientists dropping earlier plans.
I think every student should have this experience to know more of the wonderful universe.
