Shadows cast by vertical objects on earth will poi

Shadows cast by vertical objects on earth will point to kiblat at 5.16 pm (Brunei Time) today, 28 May 2022.

When the sun is directly above the holy Kaabah today, a phenomenon known as istiwa ad’zam, any shadow produced by vertical objects (such as a stick, flagpole) will point to Kaabah. Muslims can use the sun to determine or re-check the kiblat direction easily.

Stunning moment just minutes before lunar occultat

Stunning moment just minutes before lunar occultation of Venus from Brunei Darussalam today, May 27, 2022.

The "Morning Star" Venus approaches the Moon at 10.50 am (Brunei Time) before the disappearance act. However, clouds have hindered Brunei’s view at the first and last contact when the bright planet Venus passed behind the Moon.

Next similar phenomenon to occur in Brunei on March 24, 2023.

These patterns are of many types and can include asterisms, constellations, dark constellations, dark spots, bright diffuse patterns, and single stars. You are free to consider both the constellations officially recognized by the IAU and also non-IAU-constellations - particularly photographs of both ancient and contemporary indigenous celestial patterns, from different cultures all over the world.
