Monitoring the sky of Egypt and the Arab world, the conjunction of the moon with Jupiter, the giant of our solar system, today, Friday 4 November, after sunset and the beginning of the night, where they will be separated by about two degrees in one very beautiful sight easily visible to the naked eye.
And the Jeddah Astronomical Society revealed in a report that this mating will occur while the moon is in its growing hump phase, which is the brightest point in the night sky.
Jupiter is the fourth brightest object in the sky after the sunthe moon And Venus, and it will appear as a bright white point to the naked eye observer, and observing it through binoculars or a small telescope, the planet’s disk and around it will see its four large moons known as “Galileo’s moons”: Ganmid , Callisto, Europa, Iowa – where they appear as small points of light near Jupiter.
During the night, all of these bodies apparently move westward due to the Earth’s rotation on their axis, but the true movement of the moon is eastward relative to the stars.
By observing the position of the moon every day at the same time, you will notice that its movement is eastward with respect to the stars and planets of the zodiac circle, so the next day you will notice that the moon has moved away from Jupiter and is rushing towards east, which is its natural movement in orbit around the earth.
