“International Astronomy”: Islamic New Year next Tuesday

The Director of the International Astronomy Center, Eng. Muhammad Shawkat Odeh, expected that the Islamic New Year will be on Tuesday, August 10 in most countries of the Islamic world, as there is no possibility to see the crescent on Sunday from anywhere in the Islamic world, neither with the naked eye nor using a telescope.

He said that the majority of the Islamic world will investigate the crescent of the month of Muharram for the year 1443 AH on Sunday, August 8, 2021, and the central conjunction will occur on that day at 01:50 noon GMT, and sighting the crescent on Sunday is impossible from the east of the Islamic world, and not possible from the rest of its parts. He pointed out that there is a possibility to see the crescent on that day through a telescope only, and with difficulty from parts of the American continent.
