==About the Organization==

UP Astronomical Society was founded on '''July 30, 1991''' by a handful of UP Diliman students with the ideals of igniting the interest of Astronomy among the UP student body and the general public. The constitution laid out four core objectives of the organization: <br />
<br />
(1) ''To bring together individuals interested in astronomy'', <br />
(2) ''to broaden the awareness interest, knowledge and understanding among students and the general public'', <br />
(3) ''to contribute to the general body of knowledge of astronomy'', and <br />
(4) ''to promote the common interest and individual development of its members.'' <br />
<br />

Today, after years of gazing up to the heavens, UP AstroSoc continues its foremost vision of bringing the wonders of the celestial world within people’s reach. It currently resides inside the PAGASA Astronomical Observatory complex in UP Diliman.
<br /><br />
UP AstroSoc is comprised of members from different colleges and institutions with diverse backgrounds both in and out of the university. Aside from the usual social activities of a collegiate organization, UP AstroSoc partakes in several Astronomy-inclined activities throughout the academic year. Among these are Astronomy classes, public observation assemblies, and Astronomy lectures and forums. The organization also conducts Astronomy learning sessions and camps to requesting parties outside the UP community including schools and other consortiums, furthering its cause of spreading Astronomy to the general public.<br /><br />
