The sky of Egypt and the Arab world is witnessing after sunset today, Sunday and the beginning of the night, on the surface of the moon apparently near the star of the defenseless fish in the dome of the sky in the phenomenon of watching with the naked eye in the event that the sky is clear and free of clouds, which is an ideal opportunity for photography.
The defenseless fish is a star in the first rank, which means that it is one of the brightest stars in the sky. In fact, it is two stars that revolve around each other, but it appears to us as one star because of the vast distance that separates us from them. About 1,900 times from the sun, and if we put the sun at the site of the defensive fish at a distance of 262 light-years, the sun will only appear 1 / 1.900 from the brightness of the defensive fish at that distance.
During the hours of the night, it is noticed that the moon and the defenseless fish head westward through the sky, and the reason for that is the same reason that the sun is heading west during the day, due to the rotation of the earth around its axis from west to east.
But if you observe the moon from one night to the next, it is possible to easily observe its true movement in its orbit around the Earth. For example, the following evening, Monday, you will notice that the moon moved eastward, away from the defenseless starfish.
As usual, the moon will complete a full circle in front of the constellations in the zodiac in about four weeks, and it will return and meet the defenseless fish star again at the beginning of next month.
