Powerful telescope! Beyond the stars, galaxies fil Powerful telescope! Beyond the stars, galaxies fill nearly the entire background.

This is a false-colour test image of James Webb Space Telescope provided by the  Fine Guidance Sensor, a total of 72 exposures over 32 hours taken in early May this year.

Bright stars around HD147980 stand out with their six, long, sharply defined diffraction spikes – an effect due to Webb’s six-sided mirror segments.

In less than a week, NASA will release the first full-color images from James Webb Space Telescope on July 12, 2022.

An incredible sight of the great 7-planet parade s An incredible sight of the great 7-planet parade spanning across the pre-dawn sky over Brunei today!

The cloud cover started to dissipate at around 2 a.m. providing a great opportunity to observe the Grand Planet Parade before sunrise from Tutong on June 26, 2022.

A group of 9 members of the Astronomical Society of Brunei Darussalam (PABD) turned their telescopes and cameras towards the rare occurrence to see all the planets in the Solar System observable in one night. These are some of the amazing moments:

[1] [2] It was a beautiful sight. A wide-angle lens perspective of the celestial line-up.
[3] The moon in close conjunction with the morning star Venus and bright Pleiades (M45) star cluster.
[4] Moon Shadow - Jupiter’s volcanically active moon Io casts its shadow on the planet.
[5] PABD members posed with the starry night background to preserve memories.

Catch the Grand Planet Parade tomorrow morning! Catch the Grand Planet Parade tomorrow morning! 

The 5 bright planets in the Solar System - Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter & Saturn - will line up and visible all at once from Brunei Darussalam. Neptune and Uranus are however very faint and require a small telescope to spot them.

It will be a special moment and excellent photo opportunity as well when the crescent Moon close to the brilliant Venus and the bright Seven Sisters (Pleiades- M45) star cluster in the constellation Taurus at dawn on June 26, 2022. 

The planetary parade should be easily visible to the unaided eye if the weather is clear, and sky watchers do not need to use binoculars or a telescope to observe the celestial spectacles.

It is possible to capture decent photos of the astronomical phenomena with today’s smartphones on a tripod. Share your snaps and get them featured by tagging us & #bruneiastronomy on your stories.

Our interactive sky map (www.bruneiastronomy.org/skymap) will assist you to locate the planets and stars in the sky.
