INFORMATION
LETTER ON BALKAN ASTRONOMY |
April 29, 2001.
Number 3
The last issue of ILBA contained two obituaries.This was due to an unfortunate set of local circumstances, but we sincerely hope that events like that will not repeat. Due to the unpredicability of events in our region, we had to mention a political document issued by our collegues from the University in Skopje.
skip:
• ILBA on the web
• A summer school
• News from Bulgaria
• Some politics (unfortunately)
• New publications
• Useful web-sites
We mentioned in the last issue of
ILBA that negotiations were underway for another web site on which
ILBA would perhaps be posted. Things have been successfully
concluded, and you can now find ILBA on:
http://www.srbija.org and
http://www.atm.dal.ca/~andromed/balk.html
Our colegues from Ukraina have informed the editors about a summer school which they are organizing later this year. The complete text of the announcement which we have received is inserted below.

LOC
Beginning april, an astronomical conference was held in Varna (Bulgaria). It was called the XVII conference of young astronomers, and it was organized by the observatory and planetarium in Varna. According to a report by one of the participants (Mr. Marjan Ristevski from the Astronomical Society of Bitola, rmarjan@freemail.org.mk) the conference has been very sucessful. Details can be obtained from him. Another information from Bulgaria: the proceedings of the meeting in Belogradchik are nearing completition, and according to plans the book should appear in May.
All of you know, at least to some extent, that political and military troubles have errupted in the F.Y.R. of Macedonia. Our collegues from the University in Skopje have sent us an analysis of events in their country which is, at the same time, an appeal to the world community. Due to its length, we will not reproduce it here, but those interested can obtain it either from dr Gordana Apostolovska in Skopje at: gordanaa@iunona.pmf.ukim.edu.mk or from the editors.
A series of new publications by dr Zoran Knezevic and dr Luka Popovic can be accessed at the web site of the Astronomical Observatory in Belgrade. Take a look at http://www.aob.bg.ac.yu/staff/zknezevic/index.html http://www.aob..bg.ac.yu/staff/lpopovic/#section#2
The Macedonian Astronomical Society has a home page at the address: http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/5393/
A minor comment which the editors
have is that it could perhaps be updated more often. The active
amateur group from the city of Valjevo in central Serbia has several
web-sites:
http://www.astrova.cjb.net
http://www.pomracenje.cjb.net
http://www.ethnoastronomy.cjb.net
The first url is a general presentation of their group, the second one contains definitive results from the solar eclipse of 1999, and the third one is devoted to results of their work in ethnoastronomy. All three merit to be visited.
Good luck in your life and work to all, and do not forget to inform us about your results and plans - that is the only way to keep ILBA going (of course,assuming that you find it useful).
