In a conversation with Mehr reporter, Kazem Kokarm explained the process of Ramadan’s cresce sighting process and said: On the 21st day of each lunar moh, astronomers are observing the cresce moon on the Maghreb horizon. If the cresce is not seen, the next day as the 30th lunar moh and the next day under any circumstances will be considered as the first day of the lunar moh. Because in the lunar calendar, there are no 6 -day mohs.
Ramadan Critical Cresce this year
Kokaram explained about the Ramadan cresce this year: This year, we are faced with a cresce on the evening of Sha’ban (AH) (Friday, March 6), which has difficult and critical observation features; Because although the importa observation factors of the corner of the cresce from the sun, the age of the moon, the cresce cresce phase are significa at sunset, the cresce height is very low from the horizon and the pause or duration between sunset and sunset is only about 5 to 5 minutes in many areas. These conditions make it very difficult to see the cresce in Iran.
Possibility of seeing cresce with observation tools in southwestern Iran
A spokesman for the Amateur Committee of the Iranian Astronomical Association, poiing out that this is a difficult view of Ramadan this year in Iran, adding that only in the western, southwestern Iran and the Persian Gulf islands, in the eve of favorable weather conditions and clean and cloudless horizons, moisture and dust and the use of telescopes.

Of course, on Saturday, March 23, the cresce moon is easily visible in the whole of Iran with the naked eye.
Predicting the start of Ramadan in Saudi Arabia and Iran
Kokaram said about the possibility of the announceme of Ramadan this year’s announceme: In Saudi Arabia, on Saturday, March 23, it will be allegedly announced as the first day of the holy moh of Ramadan, because the cresce of the moon sets up on Friday evening after the sun and is based on the extraction of the Hijri calendar in Saudi Arabia. But in Iran, given the difficult conditions of cresce visibility and the difference between the Iranian calendar extraction and Saudi Arabia, the high probability of Saturday will be announced on Sunday, March 23, the first day of Ramadan. Of course, this depends on observation reports, and eveually the religious ruler and imitation authorities will decide on the first day of Ramadan.
