Title: Ukrainian astroforum '09 Post by: Roman White on May 24, 2009, 09:30:21 am I am just back home from one of the main astronomic events of the year - the Ukrainian astronomic forum 2009, which took place in Kharkiv on May 21-24. More than 50 amateurs from different cities met together at Kharkov planetarium and spent wonderful 3 days there.
