According to the Saudi Press Agency, the Jeddah Astronomy Society has stated that on Saturday, July 13, throughout the day, the moon would be visible in the sky over the Arab globe during its first-quarter phase for the month of Muharram.
Astronomy aficionados will have a fantastic chance to examine the moon’s surface when it rises from the eastern horizon at noon local time and reaches its highest point at sunset. One of the twenty brightest stars in the night sky, Spica, will be seen close to the moon after dusk.
The leader of the Jeddah Astronomy Society, Majid Abu Zahra, clarified that although Spica looks to be a single object, it is actually two stars orbiting each other.
He pointed out that half of the moon is lit up during the first quarter of the lunar cycle. He noted that now is the best time to use binoculars or a small telescope to view the moon’s surface since it is easier to see the mountains, craters, and other features, especially along the terminator line that divides the day and night sides of the moon. According to Abu Zahra, “the interaction of light and shadows along this line provides a stunning three-dimensional view.”
