Peak Milky Way viewing begins in Arab World

JEDDAH: The Arab world has entered a peak period for Milky Way observation, a window that will remain open through late May. According to the Jeddah Astronomy Society, the moon’s transition to its new phase on May 16 will provide the exceptionally dark skies needed to view the galaxy from midnight until dawn. Optimal visibility is driven by the absence of lunar light, the high position of the galactic center and atmospheric stability.
