Kuwait to witness several celestial events this June
KUWAIT CITY, June 4: The Al-Ajari Scientific Center announced on Wednesday that June will feature a variety of notable astronomical phenomena visible in the Kuwaiti sky. On June 7, the moon will reach the farthest point in its orbit around Earth, a phenomenon known as the 'Moon at Apogee.' During this event, the moon will appear slightly smaller than usual. The center also highlighted the full moon on June 11, popularly called the 'Strawberry Moon,' named after the strawberries that ripen during this time in the northern hemisphere. A close conjunction between the moon and Saturn is expected on June 19, when the two will be approximately 23 degrees apart. At that time, the moon will be 23 days old. June 21 marks the summer solstice—the longest day of the year—when the sun reaches its highest point in the sky. This day also signals the official start of summer in the northern hemisphere. Additionally, Jupiter will be in conjunction with the sun on June 24, passing close to the sun as it moves around the far side of the solar system. Following this, on June 26, a new moon will appear coinciding with the moon's 'perigee,' its closest point to Earth in its orbit, at a distance of approximately 1.01140 astronomical units from the sun. Finally, on June 30, the moon and Mars will share the same ascendant. The moon will pass 12 degrees north of Mars and will be five days old. The Al-Ajari Scientific Center encourages skywatchers to observe these remarkable celestial events throughout the month.
