Promoting Dark-Skies and New Astronomy Adventure Promoting Dark-Skies and New Astronomy Adventure

Our Melilas Darksky adventure concludes today, July 31, 2022. The โ€œKembara Angkasa Maal Hijrahโ€ programme served both public members and participants, by offering astronomy outreach and public engagement activities to make astronomy more accessible to the rural community in the country. It also aimed to help the development of new astrotourism in the country, where people travel to stargaze.

Thank you to all participants, our supporters Majlis Perundingan Kampong Melilas & Persatuan Kereta Tahan Lasak Brunei Darussalam (@pktlb) and partner Tourism Development Department @brunei.tourism, Ministry of Primary Resources and Tourism for making this a special journey.

Last night was a clear sky that the glowing Milky Way band was easily visible with just bare eyes from one of Belaitโ€™s best stargazing sites, Luagan Lalak Recreational Park @forestry.brunei.

July offers the best view of natureโ€™s most incredible wonder, the Milky Way, where the bright galactic center arching overhead all night from Brunei Darussalam.

The Tourism Development Department, Ministry of Pr The Tourism Development Department, Ministry of Primary Resources and Tourism @brunei.tourism is currently conducting a survey on the public's interest on stargazing in Brunei Darussalam. 

The aim of the survey is to identify the stargazing activities that can help to promote and create awareness for the public on new tourism products in the country. Stargazing is the activity of observing the stars and objects in the sky (up to space, even!) as part of recreational and/or educational activities within an area.

The result of this survey is intended for educational purposes only, and not for commercial purpose. All responses will remain strictly confidential.

This survey will take about few minutes of your time. 

Scan the QR or visit bit.ly/stargazingBN to complete the survey.

Thank you for your time.

Today the evening gets brighter in Brunei! On Jul Today the evening gets brighter in Brunei!

On July 18, 2022, the sun sets very late for this year at 6.38 pm, and Brunei will experience the last rays of sunlight known as the astronomical twilight until 7.53 pm.

In the Northern Hemisphere, depending on the observerโ€™s latitude, the latest sunset occurs around late June or early July, but does not coincide with the summer solstice of June 21.

The late sunset occurrence is caused by the Earthโ€™s elliptical orbit around the Sun. In early July, Earth is about 5 million kilometers farther (aphelion) from the Sun and is moving at its slowest speed around it.

The phenomenon of istiwa adโ€™zam occurs when the sun is directly above the holy Kaabah (zenith) today, any shadow produced by vertical objects (such as a stick, flagpole, edge of a wall) will point to Kaabah. Muslims can use the sun to determine or re-check the kiblat direction easily.
