A partial eclipse over Brunei Darussalam

Earth's darkest shadow covered only a small portion of the Moon's surface during the partial lunar eclipse just now, October 29, 2023.

This photo was taken during the first contact (U2) of the moon with the umbra at 03:38 a.m.

The next lunar eclipse visible from Brunei Darussalam will be on September 07, 2025.

A rare lunar eclipse is set to happen in Brunei Da

A rare lunar eclipse is set to happen in Brunei Darussalam during the pre-dawn hours tomorrow, Sunday, October 29, 2023.

During the eclipse, the Earth passes exactly between the Sun and the Moon, forming a shadow on the Moon's surface.

The phenomenon will officially begin at 02:02 am, during the penumbral eclipse stage, when the full moon crosses the outer shadow of the Earth known as penumbra. The dimming effect during penumbral eclipse of the moon will be much subtle and challenging to observe.

As the Earth moves over the Moon, the partial lunar eclipse begins when a small portion of the Moon crosses the darker inner Earth’s shadow, the umbra, for about 76 minutes, from 03:36 am until 04:52 am.

At maximum eclipse, at 04:04 am, about 6% of the Moon's area is covered by Earth's umbra. If the sky is clear, stargazers will notice that a small top-left portion of the Full Moon is obscured by the Earth`s shadow, creating a fascinating celestial spectacle.

This lunar eclipse will be visible in parts of Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa, North America, North and East South America, the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian Ocean, Arctic and Antarctica.

The eclipse is only visible before the last contact of the penumbra at moonset, 06:11 am.

The next occurrence of lunar eclipse visible in Brunei Darussalam will be a total eclipse on September 7, 2025.

Happy meteor spotting! The Orionid meteor shower

Happy meteor spotting!

The Orionid meteor shower is at its best activity this weekend, on Saturday night into the early Sunday morning (from 1 a.m. to 5 a.m.) from Brunei Darussalam.

Halley's comet debris sparked the meteor shower annually. During its 76-year orbit around the Sun, comet’s fragments of ice and rock break off and leaving a disorganized trail. Most of these rocks are tiny; some are as little as a grain of sand. When the Earth crosses the comet’s stream, these meteoroids will hit our atmosphere and radiate bright trail of meteor lights or shooting stars.

The meteors originate in the sky from the constellation Orion (or Al-Jabbar, the giant, in Arabic), where the Orionids get their name. Famous for the Orion's belt, a group of three stars, it is also referred to as “Bintang Kiblat” as these stars point towards the direction of Makkah in our region.

Around midnight, the constellation Orion will begin to rise above the horizon. It is preferable to wait until around 1 a.m. in the morning, though, when the portion of the sky is much higher and without obstructions. It should be visible overhead for a few hours until the Sun begins to rise.

This year, the skies should be ideal for enjoying the meteor shower since the Moon have meset by the time Orion appears. You can anticipate 10 to 15 meteors every hour, in dark areas and with clear skies. You will see less in brighter areas.
