You know, it's quite a complicated question for me, especially because I'm not a huge fan of science at all, like science fiction. But one field I'd like to describe that I'm keen on so much is astronomy. Astronomy is a field that studies the planets, the solar system, the sun, and incredible stars across our universe and our Milky Way galaxy. I started to love this so much from my childhood, about ten years ago, when my grandparents presented me with a microscope. Yes, a microscope, especially because they thought I would like to see all these bacteria and micro species through it. But I said, 'But it's boring; I hate it so much.' They then presented me with a telescope instead. The very first time I saw the polar bear, I was wondering how it could be possible for such a piece of art to be near us. I thought it was located next to my home, but I was just a child at the time. As I grew older, I discovered new features of this science, especially how we are living and how many planets exist in our galaxy. It was a great opportunity for me to learn more about this, and I think it's so interesting that everyone should learn more about our galaxy.
