Weather of Arabia - The International Astronomy Center published a picture of the crescent of Shawwal 1445 AH today, Tuesday, which was taken during the day from Abu Dhabi by the Al-Khatt Astronomical Observatory at exactly 10:15 am UAE time.

The center explained that filming was difficult due to the cloudy weather in the observatory.

The Center had previously announced that seeing the crescent of Shawwal on Monday is impossible in all regions of the Islamic world, due to the moon setting before the sun and the conjunction occurring after sunset.

The center indicated that seeing the crescent moon on Tuesday is possible with the naked eye in many regions of the Islamic world, making Wednesday, April 10, Eid al-Fitr.

In the Emirates, the committee charged with investigating the sighting of the Shawwal crescent announced that today, “Tuesday,” is the completion of the month of Ramadan, and that tomorrow, “Wednesday,” will be the beginning of the month of Shawwal, and thus the first day of Eid Al-Fitr.
