Spotted from Brunei! Watch Asteroid 1997 NC1 Fly Past Earth
Asteroid 1997 NC1 is about 1 km wide, making it 50–60 times larger than the 2013 Chelyabinsk meteor. Discovered by the NEAT survey in Hawaii, it travels through space at 32,000 km/h, yet appears only as a faint magnitude‑10 object in a small telescope, drifting slowly across the constellations. Classified as an Aten‑type Earth‑crossing asteroid, 1997 NC1 made a close and safe flyby of Earth (2.6 million km) on 28 June 2026.
Members of the Astronomical Society of Brunei Darussalam (PABD) captured the event in a 22‑frame time‑lapse, recorded at one‑minute intervals from 01:09 to 01:31. The sequence reveals the asteroid’s steady motion against the background stars as it passed through the constellation Ophiuchus.

Behind the Clouds: A Very Busy Star Filmed from B

Behind the Clouds: A Very Busy Star
Filmed from Brunei, today's data shows the sunspot count has jumped to 126, with 2 large active regions freckling the surface.
Sunspots are temporary darker patches that form where strong magnetic fields cool down the Sun's burning surface. When these magnetic lines tangle and snap, they unleash huge solar flares. In fact, many of these active spots are actually much bigger than our entire planet Earth.
