Ukraine is among the leading countries in Europe in regards to the number of astronomical observatories. During the 19th and 20th centuries alone, seven large observatories were opened at scientific institutions, which still operate today. One of the oldest observatories is in Odesa. Not long ago here, a telescope was restored, and it is now possible to see the stars using this telescope which is over 100 years old. This observatory is the only one in Ukraine which has facilities for making telescopes. Created by local experts, Ukraine’s largest telescope operates at a station in the village of Maiaky.
