Jeddah Astronomical Center: Crescent of Safar Month Lights Up the Sky After Sunset
The sighting of the Hijri month of Safar’s new moon was observed this evening after sunset in the western horizon. It became more visible as the sunlight diminished, and the appearance of the crescent moon is an opportunity for astronomical observation and photography. The head of the Jeddah Astronomical Society explained that the moon reached the conjunction point yesterday at 12:43 PM Mecca time, marking the beginning of a new lunar month. He also noted the phenomenon of "Earthshine" on the unlit part of the moon, caused by sunlight reflected from the Earth's surface. The moon's position in the sky changes daily, aiding in the identification of stars and planets. Observing it provides a chance to enjoy the beauty of the sky and discover the details of celestial movements.
