The #MarsHelicopter is set to make history: the first attempt at powered flight on another planet.
 
If everything goes according to plan, the 4-pound (1.8-kg) rotorcraft will take off from Jezero Crater on April 11, with first data coming to Earth the following morning at 1:15 a.m. PT (4:15 a.m. ET/0815 UTC). If the attempt was successful, Ingenuity will have hovered about 10 feet (3 meters) above the surface for up to 30 seconds.
 
So how does this all happen? Sunday’s autonomous flight will be piloted by the helicopter’s guidance, navigation and control systems. This will happen because radio signals take about 15 minutes, 27 seconds to bridge the 173-million-mile (278-million-kilometer) gap between Mars and Earth.
 
About a minute before the scheduled take off, the helicopter will undergo a myriad of preflight checks. It will repeat its blade wiggle and if the algorithms running the guidance, navigation and control systems accept the test results, it will turn on the inertial measurement unit (an electronic device that measures a vehicle’s orientation and rotation). The systems will also turn on the inclinometer, which measures slopes.
 
If everything checks out, Ingenuity will adjust the pitch of the rotor blades by configuring them so they don’t produce lift during the early portion of the spin-up. It will take about 12 seconds to go from 0 rpm to 2,537 rpm, the optimal speed for first flight. After a final systems check, the pitch of the rotor blades will change again to dig into the few molecules of carbon dioxide, nitrogen and argon available in the atmosphere near the Martian surface. Moments after that – the first experimental test flight on Mars will begin!

It may seem harmless, but light pollution has far-reaching consequences that are harmful to all living things. Effective outdoor lighting reduces light pollution, leading to a better quality of life for all. The dark sky movement is working to bring better lighting to communities around the world so that all life can thrive.

Watch a rare sight when a bright star appears from Watch a rare sight when a bright star appears from behind the Moon early morning tomorrow, April 04, 2021.

An astronomical spectacle will grace Brunei skies Sunday morning, as the moon is set to cross over the bright star Kaus Borealis - known as a lunar occultation. A total lunar occultation will result in the star disappearing, and moment later reappearing from behind the edge lunar limb. 

From Brunei, the immersion will happen when the Moon is still below our horizon and will be blocked by the Moon from moonrise. An observer should expect to see the star emerges on the edge of the non-sunlit side of the Moon at exactly 02:26 local time.

Kaus Borealis is a subgiant star in the constellation of Sagittarius, about 2.6 times that of the Sun (11.2 times the Sun's radius).

Lunar occultations are more easily observed by those with small telescopes or a binoculars.

Due to the recent outbreak of the 2019 Novel Coronavirus (Covid-19), the Astronomical Society of Brunei Darussalam (PABD) has postponed most of our public engagement activities such as stargazing, new moon observation etc. until further notice and focus on implementing Astronomy at Home or in a small group activity. This is in view of prevention and to control the spread of the infection in Brunei Darussalam.
