The Astronomical Society of Brunei Darussalam (PABD) | Astronomy 🔭 & Falak Syarie 🌙 in Brunei Darussalam 🇧🇳 | #bruneiastronomy

Tomorrow, March 22, 2023, will be the 29th Sya’a

Tomorrow, March 22, 2023, will be the 29th Sya’aban 1444. Hence, the tradition of new moon sighting will take place across the region to determine the first day of Ramadan, which will commence on the 23rd or the 24th of March.

The diagram shows the Hilal (crescent) parameters relative to the Sun’s position about the Western horizon at local sunset from Brunei Darussalam.

Based on these astronomical data, the 17-hour old crescent will be above the horizon for 33 minutes. The crescent is also positioned outside the critical Danjon’s Limit (Elongation > 6.4°) which makes it sufficiently illuminated. Thus, a telescopic sighting of the crescent moon is possible.

The forecast (V) is based on the New Criterion for Lunar Crescent (2005) by Mohammad SH. Odeh which was a visibility criteria derived on analysis and study of 737 lunar crescent visibility records globally.

The official start of Ramadan is subject to the moon being sighted by the government authority tomorrow.

Tomorrow (March 21, 2023), the sun will cross the celestial equator, and day and night will have the same length.

The Sun appears to rise due east and set due west.

The equinox in March is the start of spring in the Northern Hemisphere and the beginning of fall in the South. Clear skies!

Tonight will offer the best opportunity to watch the full moon.

On this day, the Earth is between the Moon and the Sun, and the Full Moon is visible during the whole night. Full moons always rise in the east as the sun sets, and set in the west at sunrise.

It coincides the Nisfu Sya’aban, a special night for Muslims that falls on the night in the middle of the 8th Islamic month of Sya'aban.

Clear skies!

NASA INSIGHT'S LAST PHOTO OF MARS?

NASA's martian rover shared one of the saddest tweets on social media about its possible last image of the planet few hours ago.

"My power's really low, so this may be the last image I can send. Don't worry about me though: my time here has been both productive and serene. If I can keep talking to my mission team, I will – but I'll be signing off here soon. Thanks for staying with me," NASA tweeted.

Launched on May 5, 2018, the lander is likely to run out of power this month.

Don’t miss! Tonight is the last chance to experience a total lunar eclipse for the next three years!

A total lunar eclipse occurs when the sun, Earth and the moon are perfectly aligned.

The full moon will pass behind the center of Earth’s shadow (Umbra) and turn red for 1 hour and 24 minutes during totality.

It is safe to watch the entire stages of lunar eclipse with the naked eye, and will be visible in clear skies.

The next total lunar eclipse in Brunei Darussalam won't be until September 8, 2025.

Promoting Dark-Skies and New Astronomy Adventure

Promoting Dark-Skies and New Astronomy Adventure

Our Melilas Darksky adventure concludes today, July 31, 2022. The “Kembara Angkasa Maal Hijrah” programme served both public members and participants, by offering astronomy outreach and public engagement activities to make astronomy more accessible to the rural community in the country. It also aimed to help the development of new astrotourism in the country, where people travel to stargaze.

Thank you to all participants, our supporters Majlis Perundingan Kampong Melilas & Persatuan Kereta Tahan Lasak Brunei Darussalam (@pktlb) and partner Tourism Development Department @brunei.tourism, Ministry of Primary Resources and Tourism for making this a special journey.

If you scale down the Sun to 30 meter or the solar system to 1 : 46,400,000 model, these will be their equivalent fruit/object sizes and orbit locations where you can find them around Brunei Darussalam with Bandar Seri Begawan as the center.
