SATURN & NEPTUNE: THE FINAL TRILOGY Three encounters. One historic farewell.
📅 February 16–17, 2026
📍 Calatagan, Batangas
This February, the night sky offers a spectacle that will not be repeated for more than a century.
Saturn and Neptune — two distant giants — will appear less than one degree apart, marking the third and final close conjunction of this rare series.
After this… the next time they come this close again will be around the year 2132.
✨ To honor this once-in-a-lifetime moment, AstroTourism Philippines presents a 3-night stargazing event, with the same complete program every night — so you can choose the date that works best for you.
🌙 Choose Your Night (Same Program, Different Moon Phase):

• Feb 17 – The Darkest Canvas (New Moon)
