Crescent of Jumada al-Akhirah 1446

Astronomical calculations indicate that the crescent was born on Sunday morning at 9:21 Jordan time, and set on the same day minutes before sunset, so it was impossible to observe it after sunset because it was not on the horizon. As for the astronomical data for Monday, the crescent remained above the horizon for about 45 minutes after sunset, and its age was about 32 hours and 16 minutes, and its height above the horizon at sunset on Monday was about 6 degrees and 17 minutes, and the angular elongation between the sun and the moon was about 15 degrees, which is the angular distance between the center of the sun and the center of the moon at sunset, and the degree of illumination was about 1.2%. The crescent was observed and photographed using several optical means such as binoculars, viewing through telescope lenses, and photographing through cameras and computerized telescopes.
