A member of the Staff’s headquarters described Ramadan’s crescent sight as attractive and said: “The crescent observers have the opportunity to visit the crescent about 2 to 5 minutes after the sunset, and it would not be easy to see this crescent in the Iranian sky.”
Ali Ebrahimi Seraji, Observer of the Moon and Member of the Amateur Committee of the Iranian Astronomical Association in an interview with ISNA“The crescent of Ramadan in Iran is one of those crescent, which will be very critical and attractive,”.
He continued: Examples of such crescent have been rarely seen in the world; A very narrow and critical crescent whose vision will be very experienced by observers.
Ebrahimi noted: The chance of seeing this crescent seems to be greater in western Iran, but atmospheric conditions and appropriate tools may come with the help of experienced observers so that even in central Iran, it may be visible.
A member of the Staff Staff noted: To examine the sight of the Ramadan Crescent, it is necessary to determine the moment of the moon and the sun. This moment is at 1 and 2 minutes and 2 seconds of Friday, March 23, in accordance with 2 Sha’ban.
He emphasized: To examine the crescent visibility of the moon on Friday, March 23, the conditions of visibility in the Iranian sky should be examined.
Ebrahimi noted: Accordingly, the earliest sunset in Iran in the border village of Iran’s Beard is Iran in Sistan and Baluchistan province and the latest in the village of Pir Ahmad Kennedy in West Azerbaijan province.
He emphasized: Accordingly, the crescent age of the moon varies 2 hours and 2 minutes to 2 hours and 2 minutes at the moment of sunset in Iran and the amount of time has passed since the moment of the moon and the sun.
“What makes this crescent appealing is the separation of the moon from the sun, which is 3.5 degrees in the easternmost point of Iran and the westernmost point of 3.5 degrees,” said a member of the Staff Staff.
He noted that the height of the moon is low, adding that the lowest altitude of the moon in Jahanbani border checkpoint in Khorasan Razavi province is 3.5 degrees and the highest height of the moon in the Arvand border town of Khuzestan with a height of 2.5 degrees.
Ebrahimi noted: Crescent observers have the opportunity to visit the crescent about 2 to 5 minutes after sunset, so it will not be easy to see this crescent in the Iranian sky. Unless atmospheric conditions and observation tools can make it visible in the West or central Iran.
The Ramadan Crescent is visible in West Asia, Europe and most parts of Africa, and can be seen in North and Central America and parts of South America and West Africa with the naked eye on the evening of March 6, the member said.
