WORLD | Moon Sighting....

... Muslims in many countries around the world are into the moon sighting spree .... to determine the start of the fasting month (Ramadhan) ....

... there are 12 months in the Islamic calendar ... and there are either 29 or 30 days in a month... thus .. that's where the sighting of the "new" moon determines it .....

... but this year ... the new moon was not visible in Brunei ... and according to the astronomical people... the moon's below the horizon ... hence u could not see it ... unless u go real high ... at a very high altitude... say above 20,000 metres ... then perhaps u can sight the moon... but hei .. it beats the purpose ... as it is also not practical ....



... sunset at one of the local beaches ....

... btw ... earlier today ... the University of Brunei Darussalam a.k.a. UBDcity (UBD) ... held it's 19th convocation ... so congrats to those who made it thru today ... good luck in your future undertaking ....

... and on the other side of the world .... today also marks the 6th year after the tragedical (is there such word?) ... 911 ....

... peace u all ...
