DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Rizzalyn Joy Agustin (DOST-PAGASA)\nAstronomical eve
 nts occur throughout the year\, yet many remain unnoticed due to limited a
 ccess to reliable\, timely\, and easy-to-understand astronomy information.
  To enhance public engagement\, the DOST-PAGASA Space Science and Astronom
 y Section produces the Astronomical Diary Video Series\, a monthly astrono
 my video presentation derived from the agency's Astronomical Diary Press R
 elease and published on the official DOST-PAGASA Facebook page.\n\nLaunche
 d in February 2021\, the series features upcoming astronomical events visi
 ble from the Philippines\, including meteor showers\, planetary conjunctio
 ns\, lunar phases\, eclipses\, and other notable celestial phenomena. Usin
 g the open-source planetarium software Stellarium\, together with narratio
 n\, graphics\, animation\, and video editing\, each episode simulates the 
 night sky and provides practical observing guidance to help viewers apprec
 iate and observe these events.\n\nTo date\, approximately 65 episodes have
  been published\, providing students\, educators\, amateur astronomers\, a
 nd the general public with accessible and reliable astronomy information. 
 This presentation describes the development and production workflow of the
  Astronomical Diary Video Series\, from script adaptation and sky simulati
 on to video production and dissemination through social media. It also dis
 cusses the use of regular monthly video presentations as a digital science
  communication strategy for improving public access to astronomy informati
 on and enhancing public engagement with astronomy.\n\nhttps://indico.narit
