Here is the challenge – What\u2019s the\nyoungest moon you can see this year? The infographic will tell you when to hunt\nthe new moon crescent (hilal),\nand where to locate its position in the western sky at sunset from Brunei\nDarussalam in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note: Prediction method by Mohammad SH. Odeh (New Criterion For Lunar Crescent Visibility, 2005) employed new criterion visibility of the lunar crescent, V. This is only a computational analysis data. The result\/declaration of the sighting\/beginning of hijrah month should be referenced to official media by the Government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s rare and very challenging to see a\nmoon within 24 hours of new moon. Our PABD include monthly hilal\nobservation to spot the youngest possible moons with digital camera, optical\naid, or with the eye alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prediction method by Mohammad SH. Odeh (New Criterion For Lunar Crescent Visibility, 2005) employed visibility of the lunar crescent by this new criterion, V= ARCV\u2212(\u22120.1018W3 +0.7319W2 \u22126.3226W +7.1651) where: ARCV: Airless and topocentric arc of vision in degrees. W: Topocentric crescent width in arc minutes ;
