										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Bandar Seri Begawan &#8211; A special </strong>visit from Prof Dr Mahomarawi Omar, the dedicated amateur astronomer and owner of Kota Baharu Mini Observatory, Kelantan, to the Mini Observatory in Kampong Keriam, Tutong.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The trip is considered a significant step in strengthening ties between the amateur astronomy enthusiasts of the two regions, focusing on sharing knowledge about observation techniques, outreach programs, and running a private observatory. Both parties expressed enthusiasm for future joint astronomy outreaches and educational initiatives.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Prof Dr Mahomarawi, an active member of Persatuan Astronomi Negeri Kelantan, was personally welcomed by the Secretary-General of the Astronomical Society of Brunei Darussalam (PABD). His trip on October 03, 2025, fostered great astronomical exchange and collaboration between the Kelantan and Brunei astronomy communities.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Bandar Seri Begawan &#8211; The Moon</strong> will pass in front of Venus creating a special celestial phenomenon of lunar occultation on May 27, 2022.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">The celestial geometry of an occultation – the Earth, Moon and Venus are in a straight line. During the event, the Moon is perfectly aligned to pass in front of the brightest planet which is visible only from small segments of the world.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><a href="https://bruneiastronomy.org/web/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/20220527_occultationmap.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://bruneiastronomy.org/web/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/20220527_occultationmap.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-10841" width="836" height="544" srcset="https://bruneiastronomy.org/web/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/20220527_occultationmap.jpg 638w, https://bruneiastronomy.org/web/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/20220527_occultationmap-300x195.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 836px) 100vw, 836px" /></a><figcaption><em>Above: Lunar occultation of Venus global map on May 27, 2022. Observers in areas within the red boundary lines such as small part of Madagascar and most South-East Asia will be able to sight the event.</em></figcaption></figure>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">For the most region in Southeast Asia including Brunei Darussalam, this lunar occultation of Venus takes place in a daytime sky.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator is-style-dots"/>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Observing Venus</h2>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">Venus is the third brightest celestial body in the sky after the Sun and the Moon. Currently, the morning planet shines brightly at magnitude -4.1, which is easily visible in broad daylight sky for many experienced observers.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">Less-casual observers may need an optical aid such as a telescope or binoculars and aim to the Moon crescent during the daytime to witness this occultation. Venus will be a few degrees away from the Moon hours before the occultation.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator is-style-dots"/>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Timing of Occultation</h2>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">If the sky is clear and blue, sky watcher in Brunei should be able to see a very bright “star” (which is in fact Venus) approaching close the Moon prior to the occultation.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">Venus disappears behind the Moon at 10.58 a.m. for Brunei Darussalam. As this occultation involves the waning lunar crescent, at the beginning of the occultation, Venus will glide behind the bright side of the moon.</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph">It will then re-emerge from behind the moon’s dark side approximately 1 hour 42 minutes later, at 12.40 p.m.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Oleh Kadir Dikoh<br>kadiro@bh.com.my</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Berita Harian </strong>&#8211; Sambutan 1 Syawal sudah tidak ada ‘ummph’ atau kejutan lagi seperti dahulu kala, terutama ketika pengumuman tarikh hari raya, kata seorang teman. Katanya, ahli keluarga sudah tidak lagi ‘terpacak’ di hadapan televisyen menunggu Penyimpan Mohor Besar Raja-Raja mengumumkan tarikh Aidilfitri seperti lazimnya berlaku pada 1960-an, 1970-an dan 1980-an.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="746" height="391" src="https://bruneiastronomy.org/web/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/20190602_malaysia_anak_bulan.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-5357" srcset="https://bruneiastronomy.org/web/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/20190602_malaysia_anak_bulan.jpg 746w, https://bruneiastronomy.org/web/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/20190602_malaysia_anak_bulan-300x157.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 746px) 100vw, 746px" /><figcaption>Gambar hiasan</figcaption></figure>



<span id="more-5356"></span>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"> “Beliaulah (penyimpan mohor) paling glamour dan satu-satunya manusia yang amat dinantikan oleh semua rakyat Malaysia pada malam pengumuman raya. Sekarang keadaan sudah tidak sama, kerana tarikh 1 Syawal macam sudah boleh diagak atau dikira, dah tahu lebih awal,” katanya.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"> Ya, sejak 1993, penentuan awal Ramadan dan Syawal menggunakan kaedah rukyah dan hisab iaitu penggunaan syarat nampak anak bulan bagi membuat justifikasi kenampakan anak bulan. Ada tiga amalan berbeza dalam menentukan awal bulan hijriah. Amalan itu ialah rukyah, iaitu melihat anak bulan semata-mata, hisab falak semata-mata serta rukyah dan hisab menggunakan kriteria imkanur rukyah, iaitu menggunakan hisab dalam menentukan kebolehnampakan anak bulan atau hilal.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Tunggu pengumuman rasmi</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"> Apa yang diceritakan seorang teman tadi, memang benar. Saya sendiri teringat zaman kanak-kanak hingga remaja, terpacak di depan televisyen bersama ahli keluarga lain, menjelang hujung Ramadan menunggu pengumuman rasmi Penyimpan Mohor Besar Raja-Raja, lazimnya sebelum atau selepas waktu Maghrib.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"> Semua kerja dihentikan, memasak, mengemas, pasang langsir atau tengah makan sekali pun&#8230;.kerana terpaku depan televisyen untuk seketika.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"> Andai diumumkan lusa hari raya, tiada apa yang berlaku kerana keesokan harinya puasa hari terakhir disambung dan ada banyak masa lagi untuk membeli-belah atau mencari barang keperluan raya yang belum sempat dibeli.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"> Tetapi, yang ‘ummph’ sekali ialah apabila Penyimpan Mohor Besar Raja-Raja mengumumkan ‘esok raya’, sekali gus menyebabkan keadaan menjadi kelam-kabut. Kanak-kanak akan terus mandi, kerana tak sabar nak pakai baju baharu, lepas itu berjalan-jalan atau bermain mercun dan bunga api di halaman rumah.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"> Golongan wanita pula akan terus sibuk di dapur, membakar kuih-muih, ketupat, memasak daging dan ayam, selain mula mempersiapkan langsir baharu. Satu kampung akan meriah dengan dentuman mercun, percikan bunga api dan orang ramai lalu-lalang, kerana masing-masing ada urusan sama ada untuk ke kedai, jumpa kawan untuk bersembang atau sengaja bergembira di jalanan.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"> Takbir raya di masjid memeriahkan lagi suasana. Program televisyen pula tiba-tiba bertukar dengan pelbagai bentuk hiburan, diselang seli takbir raya.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Berhari raya dalam kapal terbang</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"> Namun, disebabkan kejutan pengumuman ‘esok raya’ ini jugalah saya pernah berhari raya dalam kapal terbang pada pagi Aidilfitri. Tetapi saya bukan seperti lagu <em>Musafir di Aidilfitri</em> nyanyian S Jibeng, yang antara lain berbunyi: <em>“Oh Tuhan Yang Maha Kaya; Hamba menangis di pagi raya; Aidilfitri hari bahgia; Tapi hamba dilanda derita”.</em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"> Bukan derita, cuma rasa syahdu mendengar takbir raya di awan biru, sambil dihidangkan lemang dan kuih muih oleh pramugari Penerbangan Malaysia (MAS). Ini gara-gara kerana terlalu yakin hari raya ‘jatuh lusa’, bukan ‘esok’. Saya yakin, ramai yang lain turut ‘terperangkap’ dengan pengumuman ‘raya esok’, termasuk penumpang MAS pagi itu kerana kapal terbang penuh, sebahagian besar orang Islam.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"> “Sekarang situasi itu sudah tiada,” kata seorang lagi teman. Katanya, semua sudah boleh dirancang sebaik mengetahui tarikh puasa bermula, diikuti waktu membeli-belah, waktu balik kampung dan sebagainya, kerana tarikh hari raya bagaikan sudah diketahui lebih awal, tanpa disangkal lagi.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"> “Tetapi saya tetap rindu masa dulu-dulu, saya suka kejutan, bukan seperti yang kita rancang. Keadaan begini mengajar kita untuk menukar pelan serta merta atau saat akhir apabila berlaku kejutan,” kata seorang lagi rakan sekerja.</p>
