Next Friday evening, a rare astronomical phenomenon will be visible in the sky over Jordan: a visual conjunction between the Moon and the Heart of Scorpius star (Antares). The Moon will appear close to the star at an angular distance of about 1.2 degrees for several hours during the night, until it sets after 1:45 AM Saturday. The Moon will be in its waxing crescent phase with an illumination of approximately 73%, while the Heart of Scorpius star stands out with its distinctive red color. This conjunction is a optical event that does not reflect a true proximity in space and does not affect the Earth. The phenomenon can be easily observed with the naked eye, and additional details can be viewed using binoculars or telescopes. During the event, the Moon will pass near the open star cluster NGC 6231, adding special significance for astronomy enthusiasts.
