CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY—Mindanao will have its first planetarium, which is now being built in El Salvador City in Misamis Oriental. The planetarium will feature a large dome-shaped projection screen that shows constellations, planets and other celestial objects that will appear in three-dimensional perspectives. The planetarium is being built close to the Pagasa weather observatory facility in the city. The state weather bureau is currently operating Pagasa Planetarium at its Science Garden compound inside the campus of the University of the Philippines in Diliman, Quezon City. It also operates a mobile planetarium, which is an inflatable replica of the fixed planetarium in Pagasa Science Garden.
