**Full Moon Lights up the Skies of Egypt and the Arab World**
On Monday, November 27, 2023, the skies of Egypt and the Arab world will be adorned by the full moon of the month of Jumada al-Awwal. According to the Jeddah Astronomical Society, the moon will reach its fullness at 12:16 pm Mecca time (09:16 am GMT) when it will be at a 180-degree angle from the sun. After sunset, the moon will rise and decorate the night sky, casting a pink or orange hue due to the scattering of light by the Earth’s atmosphere.
In the northern hemisphere, the full moon will take a high path across the sky, rising from the northeastern horizon and setting in the northwest. Meanwhile, in areas south of the equator, the moon will follow a lower apparent path similar to the late autumn sun.
The full moon is expected to shine from sunset until dawn the next day, except for those living in the Arctic Circle, where it will remain in the sky for 24 hours, mimicking the midnight sun. However, the moon will not be visible in Antarctica due to its variable path in the sky and geographical location.
This phase of the lunar month is considered ideal for observing radioactive craters on the surface of the moon. The Tycho crater, in particular, is considered the most radioactive and is an appropriate target for photography during this time.
As the days progress, the moon will rise about an hour later each day and will become visible only in the dawn and early morning sky. Eventually, it will reach the final square stage a week after becoming a full moon.
The full moon is a beautiful and awe-inspiring sight that has captivated humanity for centuries, and tonight, people in Egypt and the Arab world have the opportunity to marvel at its splendor in the night sky.
