MANILA -- DOST-PAGASA weather observer Ruben Cunanan conducts a demonstration on basic astronomy at the Planetarium in the PAGASA Science Garden Complex in Quezon City on Tuesday.

After four months of renovations, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) Planetarium in Quezon City has reopened to the public. 

First opened in 1977, the planetarium is a renowned hub for educational tours, particularly for elementary and high school students.

The 90-seater planetarium offers an immersive experience of the universe through educational shows and lectures on fundamental astronomy, the universe's origin, history, potential future, and the solar system's evolution. 

Renovations included leak-proofing the ceilings, repainting, and replacing the lights inside the chamber. The management prioritized repairing rain-damaged walls and ceilings.
