Suhail Star Signals Summer End
The star "Suhail" appeared at dawn on Monday, serving as an astronomical sign culturally associated with the decline of summer heat and the end of its peak. It can be seen low on the southern horizon before sunrise. Known internationally as "Canopus," Suhail is the second-brightest star at night, located about 310 light-years from Earth, and belongs to the constellation "Argo." The Chairman of the Jeddah Astronomy Society, Engineer Magdy Abu Zahara, explained that its appearance does not influence weather conditions but merely reflects Earth's movement around the Sun and its axial tilt. Its reappearance is expected at dawn on August 24, marking the beginning of the waning summer and the transition into autumn in the region.
