<p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr">Arab Weather - The Jeddah Astronomical Society announced that the sky of the Arab world will witness a distinctive scene today, as the moon will begin its monthly journey near the bright planets, and will be in conjunction with the planet Venus, as they are separated by only three degrees, which will create a wonderful scene that can be seen with the naked eye after sunset.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><h2 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Details of the conjunction between the crescent moon and the planet Venus</h2><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> The head of the association, Eng. Majed Abu Zahra, explained that the moon in the small crescent phase and the planet Venus will appear together shortly after sunset, before the darkness of night falls. He mentioned that Venus and the moon occupy the second and third places in terms of brightness after the sun, which makes them appear with a beautiful glow, as a faint glow can be seen on the dark part of the moon, resulting from the reflection of sunlight from the Earth’s surface.<br /> Abu Zahra pointed out that the apparent distance between the moon and Venus will not allow them to be seen together through the telescope’s field of view, but they can be seen through binoculars, which enhances the splendor of the celestial scene.<br /> He added that Venus appears on the horizon about 80 minutes after sunset in early October, providing a beautiful view during the evening twilight period. When observed through a telescope, the disk of Venus is 83% illuminated by sunlight, which increases its beauty and brightness. </p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/uploads-2020/%D9%84%D9%85%D8%AD%D8%A8%D9%8A%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B8%D9%88%D8%A7%D9%87%D8%B1%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%81%D9%84%D9%83%D9%8A%D8%A9%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%82%D9%85%D8%B1%20%D9%8A%D9%82%D8%AA%D8%B1%D9%86%20%D8%A8%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B2%D9%87%D8%B1%D8%A9%20%D8%A8%D8%B9%D8%AF%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%BA%D8%B1%D9%88%D8%A8%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%8A%D9%88%D9%85.png" style="width: 477px; height: 600px;" /></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> See also:</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <a href="https://www.arabiaweather.com/ar/content/%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AF%D9%88%D9%84-... 10 Most Active Countries in Space</a></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <a href="https://www.arabiaweather.com/ar/content/%D8%AF%D9%84%D9%8A%D9%84%D9%83-... guide to watching the night sky in the fall</a></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p>
