Arab Weather - Today at dawn, at two-thirty in the morning in the northern border region, the crescent at the end of the month of Muharram witnessed a conjunction with “Mars, Jupiter, Al-Tawiba, and the Pleiades.” People were able to see this conjunction with the naked eye, and it continued until the twilight light of the Sun appeared.

A member of the Horizons Society for Astronomy, Burjas Al-Fulaih, explained that the phenomenon of the conjunction of three celestial bodies with two stellar planets is an attractive phenomenon that arouses the interest of astronomy and photography enthusiasts, as well as those interested in celestial bodies. He added that the moon's position at dawn tomorrow will be close to this group.

Al-Falih confirmed that watching one celestial body approach another within a number of degrees of arc is considered an unreal, apparent angular approach, as the real distance between them is very large. He also pointed out that the best places to watch astronomical phenomena are those far from light pollution.
