Jeddah Astronomical: Crescent Marks Year-End 1447 AH
Today at dawn, a waning crescent moon was observed in the sky, serving as a sign of the approaching end of the Hijri year 1447 AH. It appeared as a thin, low arc above the eastern horizon. Astronomically, this crescent is known as the "waning crescent," and it appears at the end of a lunar cycle that lasts approximately 29.5 days, before the solar conjunction and the start of a new cycle. The visibility of the crescent depends on the clarity of the horizon, levels of light pollution, and the observer's geographic location.
