Here is the challenge - What’s the youngest moon

Here is the challenge - What’s the youngest moon you can see this year? The infographic will tell you when to hunt for the new moon crescent (hilal), and where to locate its position in the western sky at sunset from Brunei Darussalam in 2020.

It’s rare and very challenging to see a moon within 24 hours of new moon. Our PABD include monthly hilal observation to spot the youngest possible moons with digital camera, optical aid, or with the eye alone.

Note: Prediction method by Mohammad SH. Odeh (New Criterion For Lunar Crescent Visibility, 2005) employed new criterion visibility of the lunar crescent, V. This is only a computational analysis data. The result/declaration of the sighting/beginning of hijrah month should be referenced to official media by the Government.

The weather was a little cloudy with intermittent clear skies at pre dawn today, Jan 5, 2020. Despite of the unfavorable weather, meteor observers at Eco Ponies Gardern @eco_poniesgarden in Tutong have witnessed 11 bright meteors of Quadrantids from midnight until dawn.

Thanks everyone for coming. We hope you've enjoyed camping out under the sky and first time experiencing meteor shower.

Quadrantids Meteor Shower Peak at pre-dawn tonight

Quadrantids Meteor Shower Peak at pre-dawn tonight!
Lasts only about 6 hours, predicted to occur in the evening of January 4 with most intense period when 50 to 100 meteors per hour is expected tonight. At that time, the Earth will be traversing the thickest part of the debris field. Many Quadrantids are bright fireballs owing to the shower’s source, an asteroid designated 2003EH.
The best time for viewing Quadrantids will be before dawn, when the shower’s radiant, which is beyond the tip of the Big Dipper’s handle, will be high in the northeastern sky.
The half-illuminated moon will set after 1 a.m. local time at the shower’s peak date, leaving the pre-dawn sky plenty dark for meteor-watchers in Brunei.
Join PABD to enjoy the “natural fireworks” of the first major meteor shower of 2020 in the sky tonight (January 4, 2020) at one of dark rural sites, EcoPonies Garden, Tutong from 5 pm onwards (subject to weather). [Note: Corresponding Hijrah date should be 08 Jamadilawal 1441] #bruneiastronomy
