The astronomical sealing observatory sets a record with the closest crescent monitoring of the sun
Abu Dhabi, February 8/ WAM/ The astronomical sealing observatory succeeded in setting a record in monitoring the crescent at the level of the Islamic world with the closer of the crescent of the sun.
This was done during the experience of new equipment and programs dedicated to monitoring the crescent, as this was in monitoring the decreasing crescent (for the last month of Rajab) on January 29.
The monitoring started at 12:15 pm Emirates time when the crescent was 5.3 degrees from the sun and the difficulty of seeing it over time because he approached the sun before the right until it was his last view at 15:52, which is only 4.4 degrees from the sun.
This distance is very small so that it is not possible to see such family, whether with the naked eye or by using a telescope, which is only possible through astronomical imaging technology using advanced equipment so that the crescent can be seen in broad daylight and this is not possible by other means. Note that if the crescent is seen during the day using this technique, then seeing it after sunset using the same means is easier.
Although some of the family in the pictures may be difficult to distinguish, the original pictures of the Hilal and look directly through the computer screen and compare them with the previous and subsequent pictures, they appear clearly.
