Rabi' al-Awwal crescent visible tonight
After sunset today, Friday, observers in the Kingdom can see the crescent of the month of Rabi' al-Awwal in the western sky, under perfectly clear conditions ideal for observation and photography. The head of the Jeddah Astronomical Society reported that the Moon reached its position after conjunction on Wednesday, August 12, indicating the beginning of a new lunar cycle, as the crescent has started to gradually rise in the night sky. The phenomenon of Earthshine can be observed, illuminating the unlit part of the crescent due to the reflection of sunlight on the Earth's surface, as the Moon continues to move eastward among the stars.
