MOBILE PLANETARIUMKaycee M. SindacBSITPROJECT CONTEXTThe universe consists mainly of stars and clouds of dust and gas. Constellations also called star pictures are only part of this vast universe that living things live in. It is a group of stars representing some religious or mythological personage, animal or object of ancient times, or a common object or instrument of scientific interest in modern times. Students usually bragged books whenever this is tackled in schools, but nowadays informations are usually located on the internet that can be accessed by computers. Constellations are part of the study in elementary students specifically in grade six and this was also been integrated in high school especially in grade seven under the field of general science specifically in astronomy.The proposed application will help the students view interactively the stars that are being clustered and labeled or also known as constellations. It will serve also as a star map or a star guide in order to locate properly the stars that build up a constellation. Most information will be limited based on the researchers findings about most constellations. Users can amuse themselves with a special feature that they can interactively connect the stars and form constellations. This benefits everyone who loves to stargaze and at the same time they can learn the positions of the stars or constellations they want.PROBLEM IDENTIFICATIONThis study aims to develop a mobile application entitled Mobile Planetarium and sought to answer the following questions:1.) What are the problems encountered by the students with the present process used?2.) What features should be added in the application based on the information gathered?3.) What would be the benefits and advantages of the information and features of the system to the user?OBJECTIVESThe primary goals for this system are:1.) To propose a better application that will help solve the problems that is being encountered by the students.2.) To provide an added feature that may aid in the easiest way possible that will make a clear picture of the constellations and it will also serve as a star map. 3.) To be able to provide an efficient way to learn the facts about the constellations and its locations.NOTESConstellations.
