Sharjah Astronomical Observatory observes Dhul Hijjah crescent
Crescent moon sighting process Amar Issa confirmed that the observatory commenced its crescent moon sighting activities after sunset on Tuesday, the 29th of Dhul-Qi'dah, as part of its second meeting for this year. In an exclusive statement to "Sharjah 24," Amar explained that the observation utilises a range of advanced astronomical devices, primarily the high-precision refracting telescope, along with CCD sensors and automated tracking systems that allow for precise recording of astronomical images and data. Compliance with established standards The Director of the Astronomical Observatories indicated that the observatory team operates according to the approved standards for crescent moon sighting in the UAE. This includes calculating the crescent's thickness after sunset, its angular elongation, and its age since conjunction, in addition to assessing atmospheric clarity and background sky illumination. These parameters are continuously monitored using specialised astronomical software to ensure accurate results. Submission of results Amar added that all images and measurements are immediately submitted to the Crescent Moon Sighting Committee of the UAE Fatwa Council. The committee studies the field reports and astronomical calculations before announcing the visibility of the crescent, paving the way for the official decision regarding the first day of Dhul-Hijjah.

Young inventors craft eco-cars at SCRF 2025 workshop
Led by Asmaeel Alahmad, lead instructor at Aufuq Al Ebdaa, a Sharjah-based education institute, the workshop served as an entry point into the world of sustainability and the ingenuity of early inventors. 'This year, all our workshops are themed around science, introducing children to the inventors behind everyday marvels we often take for granted,' said Alahmad. 'Today's session is dedicated to Carl Benz, the mind behind the first combustion engine.' Children were given recycled materials—PET bottles, bottle caps, bamboo sticks, and balloons—to create their own balloon-powered vehicles. For nine-year-old Salama, creativity came with a splash of personality. She picked a pink balloon for her eco-car, which she described as 'faster than it looks.' 'I'm taking this home to show my mum and dad,' she said, moments before her friend Salwa chimed in, 'My car is faster than hers!' Khatija, a teacher accompanying Grade 3 pupils from Al Ahliah Charity Private School, said workshops like these make learning exciting. 'We bring our students to SCRF every year because it's such a rich and stimulating environment. I've taken notes myself today—our school has a science fair coming up, and the children already want to recreate these experiments.' Aufuq Al Ebdaa has been a regular participant at SCRF, bringing engaging, educational experiences to festival goers and reinforcing the event's commitment to interactive, play-based learning. Now in its 16th edition, the Sharjah Children's Reading Festival continues to be a vibrant haven for children, packed with workshops, exhibitions, and hands-on activities. This year's programme features themed zones dedicated to illustration, science, storytelling, and more. The festival is free to attend and runs until May 4 at Expo Centre Sharjah.
