    RHU Physics and Astronomy Club attempt to spot the Ramadan crescent through their high tech telescope

    The Physics and Astronomy Club organized an event on May 15 to spot the light seeking from Ramadan’s moon. It was a successful event, where all the spectators enjoyed using the club’s telescope and revealed several interesting facts about the universe.

     

    The moon was hard to see since as diffused Ramadan starts on May 17 and not 16. But the participants witnessed Jupiter and 2 of its layers and 4 of its moons. Jupiter is called a Gas Giant Planet since it consists mostly of hydrogen and helium many layers of visible clouds. Jupiter has at least 69 moons, including the four large Galilean moons discovered by Galileo Galilei in 1610.
