السلام عليكم (Peace be upon you all)

Saja nak kongsi findings ttg calculation for the month of syawal tahun 1431H ni :)

Based on web site http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/astronomy.html?obj=moon&month=9&year=2010&obj=moon&afl=-11&day=1&n=136

Berikut merupakan summary

Jepun – Tokyo

Hari (Tarikh)	Iluminasi Bulan (Purata utk hari tu la ni rasanya)	Nampak ke Anak bulan sebelum maghrib?	Waktu maghrib ie sunset	Nampak ke Anak bulan selepas maghrib ?
Rabu (8/9/10)	0.3% *Bulan Baru mula 7.30pm*	✘ (moonset 5:32pm)	5.59pm	✘
Khamis (9/9/10)	0.90%	✓ (moonrise 5:59am)	5.58pm	✓ (moonset 6:06 pm)
