[HIGHLIGHTS] The crescent of Eid al-Fitr this year 1444 AH / 2023 AD in astronomy calculations. When and where to see?

Thursday, Ramadan 29, is the day to see the crescent of the month of Shawwal. The moment of conjunction will be at 7:12 am Mecca time on April 20.

It is difficult to see it with the naked eye, but it can be seen with a telescope or binoculars in some parts of the Middle East and North Africa. The moon will move away from the sun over the next few days as it passes through the middle of the day. It will then return to its position at the beginning of the next week.
