Emirates Astronomy: Shawwal 1st Monday, May 2

Ibrahim Al-Jarwan, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Emirates Astronomy Society, said that it is expected that the first of the month of Shawwal and Eid Al-Fitr will be astronomically on Monday, corresponding to May 2, next, as the new lunar month will be born on Sunday, May 1, at 12:28 after midnight, coinciding with a partial eclipse of the sun. Witnessed the far reaches of South America and Antarctica.

Al-Jarwan pointed out that when the sun sets on the same day, the crescent will be at an age of more than 18:30 hours and sets about 37 minutes after sunset on the same day, and therefore the opportunity to monitor it is present in all Arab countries, and we expect complete agreement between them on the first of Shawwal and the blessed Eid al-Fitr.
