Venus visible behind Moon in Jordan
Tomorrow, Monday, the skies of Jordan will witness a rare astronomical phenomenon: Venus will be obscured behind the Moon's disk for a duration of 1 hour and 24 minutes. This occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and Venus. The event begins at 12:47 PM Jordan time, when Venus starts to disappear behind the dark edge of the Moon, with full obscuration happening at 12:49 PM. Venus will reappear at 2:13 PM and will be fully visible again by 2:15 PM, resulting in a total duration of approximately 1 hour and 24 minutes. Observing this phenomenon with the naked eye is difficult since it occurs during daylight and requires optical instruments such as telescopes or binoculars. This event is scientifically significant because it allows for precise measurements of the times of disappearance and reappearance, aiding in the study of the Moon’s limb terrain. It is, however, important to exercise caution to avoid direct sunlight during observation.
