Moon's last quarter appears in Arar dawn
This morning at dawn, the skies over Arar and the Kingdom witnessed the last quarter phase of the moon for the month of Rabi' al-Awwal 1448 AH. During this phase, approximately half of the moon's disk is illuminated. It follows about a week after the full moon and is characterized by an angle of around 90 degrees between the Sun, the Earth, and the Moon. In this stage, the moon rises near midnight and remains visible until morning before setting around noon, providing an excellent opportunity to observe the surface features clearly due to the equal shadows cast by the Sun's rays. It is expected that the illuminated portion of the moon will gradually decrease in the coming days, transitioning into the waning crescent phase and entering the new lunar cycle stage.
