The Best Time to See the Milky Way Is Now! Mr Yon

The Best Time to See the Milky Way Is Now!

Mr Yong Kim Sin photographed the starry Milky Way last night, August 8, 2020, at around 9:15 pm above Luagan Lalak, Labi in Belait, Brunei Darussalam.

If you look to the centre of the galaxy (top left photo), you will find a higher density of stars and gas clouds, which is called the galactic core.

From Brunei Darussalam, the Milky Way’s core is visible from March till October, with prime viewing times from May till August i.e. when the galactic centre is observable all-night long.

Essentially, a clear dark sky is necessary to shoot the Milky Way or Galactic Core and that means driving to rural areas further from the cities or town.

Brunei's stellar Gumala is observable from Brunei

Brunei's stellar Gumala is observable from Brunei Darussalam.

Quick facts:

▫️Gumala is a F8V main sequence star located in the constellation of Sagittarius. Based on the spectral type (F8V) of the star, the star's colour is yellow to white.

▫️The star is 89.85 light years away from us which can be seen with the naked eye (magnitude 6.25).

▫️It has an estimated age of 2.30 Billion of Years. In comparison the Sun's age is about 4.6 Billion Years Old.

▫️Gumala has at least 1 Extrasolar Planet, known as Mastika, believed to be in orbit around the star.

▫️In 2019, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) @iau_org @iau100 allocated this star and its exoplanet to Brunei Darussalam to propose with a name.

Weekly open observatory night for members of the Astronomical Society of Brunei Darussalam (PABD) only.

It was a clear sky tonight and amazingly the Milkyway was visible to the naked eyes from Mini Astronomical Observatory in Keriam, Tutong.

PABD members had the opportunity to see at close up the two bright planets, Jupiter and Saturn, at the stargazing session.

The Astronomical Society of Brunei Darussalam (PAB

The Astronomical Society of Brunei Darussalam (PABD) provides guidance for an entry level introduction to astronomy to members.

Our activities include informal muzakarah for members to share and learn a wide range of astronomically related topics.

Last night, PABD's mentor Hj Md Azri bin Hj Awg Ibrahim gave a simple talk on setting up telescopes properly and astrophotograph to new members.

There are no age limits to learn astronomy. Become a member, join PABD now www.bruneiastronomy.org

Astronauts in training for microgravity.

It is a real hard work to prepare them for their space missions. The complex processess can take up to two years to become a qualified astronaut.

A mighty career. Would you like to be Brunei's first astronaut?

Video - Astronaut Training

This is the parabolic flight training for astronauts to feel and experience the microgravity environment mimicking space .
The only way is free-fall and that’s what the plane did - lasting for 40 seconds .
Truly exhilarating ....

Salam Jumaat Everyone
Love As Always
PS - Hence it doesn’t matter if the spacesuit weighs 9.5 kg , everything floats in Space .

First time seeing Saturn...It's a great big WOW!

Members of the Astronomical Society of Brunei Darussalam (PABD) were at the Mini Astronomical Observatory in Keriam, Tutong, last night, Aug 3, 2020 to gaze at the evening planets, Saturn and Jupiter near the full Moon.

August will offer the best view of the ringed and largest gas-giants as they are visible all-night long. Magnified at 200x, a large telescope will provide a stunning close-up visual of the brightest celestial objects.

Slide next to see the look on my face when I manage to take a look at Jupiter and Saturn close up! Didn't manage to take good photos of the planets but I capture the moon for you - the blue line is chromatic aberration I think.
