Astronomical Society: Total Lunar Eclipse on September 7 - Jordan News
Jordanian astronomer Imad Mujahid, a fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society and member of the Arab Union for Space and Astronomy Sciences, stated that the skies over the Kingdom will witness a total lunar eclipse on the evening of Sunday, September 7. اضافة اعلان According to astronomical calculations, Mujahid confirmed in a statement today, Sunday, that the eclipse will begin at exactly 7:27 PM on Sunday, September 7, when the eastern edge of the moon starts entering the Earth's shadow. The shadow will appear as a slowly creeping darkness across the moon's surface. The eclipse will become total—meaning the moon's entire disk will be inside the Earth's shadow—at 8:31 PM. The moon will remain in total eclipse until 9:53 PM, when it will begin exiting the Earth's shadow and the northeastern edge of the moon will be illuminated again by sunlight. The eclipse will end completely at 10:56 PM when the moon fully leaves the Earth's shadow and is again fully illuminated by the sun. He explained that lunar eclipses are beautiful natural astronomical phenomena with no impact on Earth or humans. They occur when the moon is full and close to the Earth's shadow cone behind the planet. The moon does not pass through the Earth's shadow every full moon due to the 5 degrees and 8 minutes tilt of its orbit relative to the ecliptic plane, so it often passes above or below the Earth's shadow, avoiding an eclipse. However, sometimes the moon passes through the Earth's shadow, becoming 'captured' and causing a lunar eclipse. Mujahid clarified that during a total lunar eclipse, the moon does not completely disappear but rather takes on a coppery-red color. This reddish hue results from sunlight scattered in the Earth's atmosphere, which absorbs all wavelengths of sunlight except the longer red wavelengths. These red rays bend around the Earth's edges and illuminate the moon, giving it the characteristic reddish tint during the eclipse. Without this atmospheric effect, the moon would vanish entirely during totality. The intensity of the coppery-red color depends on the condition of Earth's atmosphere. If water vapor and carbon dioxide levels are high, they block much of the red light from passing through, making the moon appear dark and almost black during totality. Conversely, if pollution levels are low, more red light reaches the moon, making it appear bright copper-red. This phenomenon allows scientists to study the quality and pollution levels of the Earth's atmosphere.

Jordan's Night Sky to Light Up with Perseid Meteor Shower - Jordan News
Jordan's Night Sky to Light Up with Perseid Meteor Shower The skies over Jordan and the Arab world will light up on the nights of August 12 and 13 with the Perseid meteor shower, one of the most active and dazzling meteor showers of the year—featuring up to 100 meteors per hour. اضافة اعلان Jordanian astronomer and member of the Royal Astronomical Society (UK) and the Arab Union for Astronomy and Space Sciences, Imad Mujahid, stated Monday that the meteors will be clearly visible to the naked eye, without the need for telescopes or special equipment, and will appear like fireworks across the sky. He recommended viewing the shower from dark areas away from light pollution, such as Wadi Rum in southern Jordan, which is considered one of the best locations for observing such celestial events, where the meteors will appear even more striking and beautiful. Mujahid added that tourism entities are preparing to host astronomical camps in Wadi Rum to observe the Perseids and other celestial objects using telescopes. Attendees will also have the chance to view Jupiter and its moons, Saturn and its rings, and even the Milky Way galaxy. He explained that the Perseid meteors originate from the comet Swift–Tuttle, which leaves a trail of cosmic dust in its orbit around the Sun roughly every 130 years. Earth passes through this dust trail every August 13, resulting in a surge of meteor activity. Mujahid noted that meteors form when tiny dust particles enter Earth's atmosphere at extremely high speeds, reaching up to 70 kilometers per second. The intense friction with the atmosphere generates heat, causing the particles to glow brightly before fading in a matter of seconds. The meteors begin to burn at about 120 kilometers above Earth and disintegrate completely by 60 kilometers altitude, meaning they almost never reach the Earth's surface. And if any fragments do, they are minuscule and imperceptible to the human eye. — (Petra)

Afghanistan rejects ICC's ruling on arrest of senior Taliban leaders
Listen to article The spokesperson for the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, Zabihullah Mujahid, has issued a strong rebuttal to the recent ruling by the International Criminal Court (ICC), which called for the arrest and prosecution of senior Taliban leaders, Haibatullah Akhundzada and Abdul Hakim Haqqani. In a statement issued on Tuesday, Mujahid categorically rejected the authority of the entity known as the "International Court," stating that the Islamic Emirate does not recognise any institution operating under that title, nor do they acknowledge any obligations toward it. He stated that such declarations and baseless rhetoric would not deter the resolve or legitimate stance of the Islamic Emirate. Mujahid further condemned the 'hypocrisy' of the international body, citing the ongoing genocide in Gaza, where innocent women and children are being killed daily by the Israeli regime and its foreign allies. Read More: ICC issues arrest warrants for Taliban leaders over rights abuses He questioned the credibility of the ICC which, according to him, has failed to take action in the face of such atrocities while focusing its attention on Afghanistan. However, it must be noted that the ICC has issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Israeli defence minister Yoav Gallant. The spokesperson also highlighted the Islamic Emirate's commitment to justice, asserting that the leadership and officials of the Emirate have established unparalleled justice in Afghanistan based on the sacred laws of Islamic Sharia. Mujahid made it clear that any labeling of Sharia law as oppressive or against human rights, and any threats of prosecution for those who implement it, reflects an inherent bias against Islam and its legal system. He further described these actions as an insult to the beliefs of Muslims worldwide and a clear expression of enmity toward the religion. He concluded by reaffirming that the Islamic Emirate remains resolute in its governance, firmly upholding Islamic law, and standing against external interference.

The letter stated: We have received your generous letter, filled with sincere brotherhood, chivalry, and blessed Arab and Yemeni generosity, which came on the occasion of Eid al-Adha. What makes your words so impactful and appreciated is that they are accompanied by great practical stances and the unique jihadi heroism of our sincere brothers in Yemen, a land of wisdom and faith. Dear brother and friend, through you, we send our sincere greetings and appreciation to Mujahid leader Sayyed Abdulmalik al-Houthi, the Yemeni Armed Forces, and our great brotherly Yemeni people from your Mujahidin brothers on the land of resistance in Gaza. Gaza is the crown of Mujahidin and the frontier of Islam advancing against the infidel Nazi Zionism. We extend to you and your brothers, on behalf of every Mujahid who carries his soul in his hand, and every steadfast defender of his homeland, waiting to fight his enemy, and on behalf of every individual among our patient, afflicted, and proud people, our sincere congratulations on these blessed days and in this sacred month of Allah. We thank Allah that we have reached Eid al-Adha while we and you are in the best of positions beloved by Allah and His Messenger: positions of jihad and fighting in His cause, martyrdom, and sacrifice of blood, soul, wealth, and all that we possess for the sake of the Night Journey of our noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) and our Holy Land. We remain steadfast in our covenant, Allah willing, that neither those who have let us down nor those who have afflicted us will harm us until Allah's promise comes to pass, by His permission. What fills us with pride is your great heroic stance, which will be recorded in history and passed down through the generations in letters of light on the pages of glory and pride. From before and after history, God will not let your struggle, faith and sacrifices go to waste, especially when you stood tall like mountains in the face of the forces of injustice and tyranny. You paid a heavy price, befitting great men like you, for supporting your brothers in Gaza in word and deed. You were the most prominent arena in the nation in terms of progress in fighting, confrontation, military support, million-man demonstrations, and a resounding, blessed voice in all arenas of support and dignity. You truly embodied the words of God Almighty: "And those who believed and emigrated and strove in the cause of God and those who gave shelter and aided - those are the believers, truly. For them is forgiveness and noble provision." May God grant us and you righteous deeds, acts of obedience, jihad, sacrifices, and acts of devotion. We ask God to elevate the ranks of our martyrs and yours, grant healing to the wounded, freedom to the prisoners, and victory to our nation and people. Until we meet again in the courtyards of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, liberated and purified, God willing. "And that Day the believers will rejoice in the victory of God. He gives victory to whom He wills, and He is the Ex Exalted in Might, the Merciful." And may you have a happy new year. May God's peace, mercy, and blessings be upon you.
