Exploring the World of Science in Tartu, Estonia

As I roamed around Tartu, I came across a fascinating university town. I was amazed to discover that this little town has a long and rich history in science. The University of Tartu has been around since 1632 and has produced many famous scientists and inventors. I visited the Tartu Observatory, which is a part of the university, and saw the telescopes they use for observing the stars. I also visited the Science Center AHHAA where I saw many interactive exhibits on various scientific topics. I learned a lot about the human body and how it works through the exhibits. The town also has a Botanical Garden which has an impressive collection of plants from all over the world. I compared this place with other university towns I have visited and found Tartu to be unique because of its focus on science and invention.
