New Members, Clear Skies, Epic Views!
We officially welcomed our newest members to the PABD family last night, June 13, 2026. We kicked things off with a quick briefing on our mission and a hands-on tour of the observatory at the orientation session. But the true highlight is always stepping outside to observe.
The stargazing in Tutong was absolutely amazing! The clear skies let us hunt down the Milky Way, with members pointing out deep-sky targets and capturing some incredible group photo silhouettes. As dawn approached, we were treated to a stunning old crescent moon and Pleiades conjunction, plus an unexpected Starlink lunar transit.
A massive welcome to the team - here’s to many more unforgettable nights under the stars together!

Strange Light Phenomenon Observed Over Brunei Daru

Strange Light Phenomenon Observed Over Brunei Darussalam (4 June 2026)
On June 4, 2026, around 8 PM, a bright, steadily moving light with a visible trail was spotted over Brunei. Witness @cloud_stride recorded a 1-minute video in Kampong Bebatik, noting the object didn't resemble a plane or comet. The footage was shared online a week later, sparking renewed public discussion.

Caught just before the storm, Jupiter and Venus at their closest - a stunning 1.4° separation right after sunset today.
Next chance to catch them like this will be at dawn on November 10, 2028!

Venus and Jupiter just 2° apart this evening, aligned beautifully above the twilight from Tutong, Brunei Darussalam.
A perfect preview of tomorrow’s planetary conjunction.

Look West RIGHT NOW!
If you step outside and look toward the western horizon just after sunset tonight, you'll see two incredibly bright "stars" practically hanging out together.
Those aren't stars-that's Venus and Jupiter!
PABD captured this shot fresh tonight on June 7, 2026. But the real show is just getting started. They are on a cosmic conjunction for their closest approach this Tuesday, June 9. They'll be so close you can easily frame them together in a pair of binoculars or a telescope.

Supporting Local Astrofiqh Research
A pleasure hosting master researcher Dk Asqina Nur Aiman binti Pg Mohamad Aminuddin from UNISSA at the mini observatory in Keriam today.
We shared insights into our equipment and management to help support her research on astrofiqh development in Brunei Darussalam.
We wish her all the best in her research and future endeavors!

What’s that bright object after sunset? It’s not a satellite - it’s Venus and Jupiter, putting on one of the brightest sky shows of 2026, and Brunei Darussalam gets a perfect view.
This week, the two brightest planets draw closer each evening, heading toward a stunning 1.6° separation on 9 June 2026, creating a brilliant double‑planet pairing in the western twilight.

June is packed with spectacular sights in our skies!
▫️June 09: The two brightest planets, Venus & Jupiter, will draw exceptionally close early next week for a stunning 1.6° conjunction
▫️June 16 - 17: A breathtaking evening sky awaits as a slender crescent moon in Muharram displaying beautiful Earthshine (the "Da Vinci glow") aligns closely with Venus, Jupiter & Mercury
▫️June 21: The Summer Solstice marks the longest day of the year here in Brunei, giving us 12 hours and 24 minutes of daylight

A rare celestial double feature over Brunei Darussalam tonight!
Not only are we witnessing a calendrical Blue Moon, but it's also the Micromoon the absolute smallest and distant full moon of 2026.

Tonight, May 31, 2026, Brunei experiences a rare "Blue Micromoon", the second full moon of the month & the smallest, faintest full moon of the year.
Blue Moon: The 2nd full moon in a calendar month.
Micromoon: Occurs near apogee, making it look ~6% smaller than average.
Its color & appearance remain unchanged; the rarity lies in the calendar alignment and orbital mechanics.

The Sun stood directly above the Kaaba today, May

The Sun stood directly above the Kaaba today, May 28, 2026, creating a rare overlap between the annual zero‑shadow event and the peak of Hajj and Eid al‑Adha. At local noon in Mecca, the Sun reached a perfect zenith - the phenomenon known as Istiwa A’dzom - allowing regions in daylight to see the Sun aligned precisely toward the Qibla.
In Brunei, accurate Qibla calibration was possible at around 5:16 pm local time. Using a vertical rod, synchronized time, and clear skies, observers could trace the shadow’s direction to determine the true Qibla.
An additional calibration window will occur in mid‑July, on July 16.
