First stop,

All you need is to bring your most supporting friend slash photographer to capture the shot you want.
Stargazing on the wall? It’s possible!
Chroma no more mwahaha
Caution: Astrophile spotted! Don’t try to be this close on the wall like this one. It’s prohibited for the preservation of the facility.

The mystery of star constellation to routes! I am still amazed.
There are also myths and legends about the creation of the universe. The museum tells three famous stories from Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.
This is a story of a man from Skyworld who married a woman from Underworld. They had many children from whom the Ibaloi descended.
The legend of King Manaul who pecked a stem which emerged from one node a man, and a woman from another. He named the man Sikalak and the Woman sikabay, both of whom were the ancestor of humankind.
The story of Diwata who created the sea, land, trees, clouds and rainbows.
Trivia:
The hours between 8am to 10am is usually the time that chickens would lay their eggs. This is why among the old Tagalogs, this time period is referred to as pangingitlog manok (meaning chicken laying eggs).
The National Planetarium offers shows.
The museum is located between the Japanese Garden and the Chinese Garden at the Rizal Park, Padre Burgos Avenue, Ermita, Manila.
