Ramadan Kareem

Happy Ramadan to all of you

 

Hilal Ramadan (The Moon) sighting

 

Hello everyone, Its been awhile for me to post things up..so busy with other works. Anyway Today in Muscat-Oman the Hilal (new Moon) will be clear visible all across the country under clear environment skies. Something rare but not always. So take your chance today to scan the skies and find the Hilal of Ramadan.

Hilal The Moon on 21st August 2009 at 5H50M PM Westside nearly 265 Degree in Muscat.

Hopefully everybody will have the chance and able to locate and see the Moon today 🙂

The Moon will set at 7:09 PM & the Sun will set at 6:33 PM. So still around 30 minuets to locate and explore the Moon. 🙂

Have a look at my previous post; The new Moon (Hilal)
