Hilal May 1, 2022 Can Set New World Record

Jakarta, CNN Indonesia

Meteorology Climatology and Geophysics Council (BMKG) mentions hilal on May 1, 2022 can set a new world record beating the previous record recorded in 2016.

BMKG revealed that they had done the calculations using their hilal calculator. According to this calculation, the height of the new moon in Indonesia on May 1, 2022 is between 3.79 degrees to 5.57 degrees.

“According to the calculation of the BMKG hilal calculator, the height of the hilal in Indonesia on Sunday, May 1, 2022 is between 3.79 degrees to 5.57 degrees,” the BMKG wrote on its official Instagram account, Saturday (30/4) yesterday.

“If the BMKG observation team manages to see the new moon, it will be the latest world record,” he continued.

Previously, the BMKG had previously observed the lowest hilal height of 6.21 degrees in 2016. At that time, the team of observers from the Waingapu Geophysical Station, East Sumba Regency, East Nusa Tenggara observed the new moon.

Until now, the record that was set in 2016 is still unbreakable.

At that time, the results of the Rukyat Hilal Observation Team of the Waingapu Geophysics Station managed to break the world record for the Smallest Ellongation Sub-Category in the Ordinary Imaging Category which was previously held by the Gowa Geophysics Station Team.

There is also a world record for the Youngest Age sub category (Youngest Age) in the Ordinary Imaging category is still held by the Gowa Geophysics Station Team.

Furthermore, BMKG calculations show that the height of the new moon is 3.79 degrees in Merauke, Papua and 5.57 degrees in Sabang Aceh.

The elongation angle is 4.89 degrees in Merauke and 6.35 degrees in Sabang.

To ensure the results of these calculations, 33 BMKG teams throughout Indonesia will observe the rukyat hilal. Calculations can be seen at this link.

The results of the hilal observation will later determine 1 Shawwal 1443 Hijriah or Eid Al-Fitr 2022.
