The PAGASA Planetarium is a planetarium within the grounds of the PAGASA Science Garden situated along Agham Road in Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines.[1] It is operated and owned by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).
The planetarium was built in September 1977.[2] The facility is managed by PAGASA's Astronomy Research and Development Section (AsRDS) and Atmospheric, Geophysical and Space Sciences Branch (AGSSB). The planetarium has a maximum capacity of 100 people.[3]
In 1999, the AsRDS acquired a mobile planetarium which can be transported in areas outside Manila upon request.[3] The mobile planetarium has a maximum capacity of 50 people.[4]
Minor renovations were done in 2005 which includes the replacement of chairs which were in poor condition.[3]
