The Moon is a Waxing Gibbous phase tonight from Brunei Darussalam.

At this phase, the moon is more than 50% illuminated, and becoming more illuminated each day until the Full Moon (set to occur on September 29, 2023).

Tonight's Biggest Blue Supermoon, and Saturn at it

Tonight's Biggest Blue Supermoon, and Saturn at its best from Brunei Darussalam.

Three cosmic phenomena at the same time are happening now in our sky: a perigean Full Moon (Supermoon), second Full Moon in August (Blue moon), and Saturn is just few days after directly opposite the Sun (post-opposition).

Catch them tonight as it is the last blue supermoon until 2037!

Bright Super Blue Moon Shines near Saturn

When the nearly full moon rises in the southeastern sky after dusk on Wednesday, August 30, bright, yellowish Saturn will shine about 4.5 degrees to the moon’s southwest – close enough for both celestial bodies to share the same view in binoculars.

The natural Earth’s satellite will at its lunar orbit nearest to the earth or at perigee at 11.52 pm. tonight (Brunei time).

The second full moon of this month will occur tomorrow morning, Thursday, August 31, 2023, and carry the term Super Blue Moon:
Blue Moon - Full Moon in a calendar month with two Full Moons, as the first full moon of August was August 2, and there’s another full moon on August 31 at 9.37 am. which is after 0.406 day of Perigee at 357,344 km.
Super Moon - At this closest relative distance of 0.997, the Full Moon brightness is 1.293 times brighter than a Full Moon at apogee (or 15.7% brighter than a Full Moon at mean distance). And it will be the closest (biggest) full supermoon in 2023!

A New Bright Supernova in the Night Sky

A recent supernova, designated as SN 2023ixf, in the spiral galaxy in the constellation Ursa Major was photographed from Brunei Darussalam last night, June 06, 2023.

Last month, Japanese amateur astronomer Koichi Itagaki discovered a violent cosmic eruption in the Pinwheel Galaxy on May 19, 2023.

A supernova occurs when the core of a massive star at the end of its life violently collapses as it runs out of fuel.

SN2023ixf is one of the closest supernovae to our Solar system, which is approximately 21 million light-years from Earth.

The celestial outburst will be visible in backyard telescopes for the next few months.

This week’s stargazers special treat: the planet

This week’s stargazers special treat: the planet Mars appears amongst hundreds of stars.

In the next few nights, the red planet will move across the open star cluster resemblance to a swarm of bees hence its name “the Beehive” or Messier 44 in the constellation Cancer.

There are 1000 young stars in the Beehive cluster formed 600 million years ago and located about 600 light-years away from us – which means the star light you see is 600 years back in time.

The spectacular celestial conjunction will be best viewed with binoculars or a low-powered telescope in the western evening sky a couple of hours after sunset.
