The Moon (Part 2)

Believe it or not you can see the Moon better with your nake eye from the Arabian Peninsular. It's as if the sky is a lot clearer than anywhere else in the world.

This world is the one created by satan meaning that everythng we know abut this world is a lie. For example, the science and the disbelief in God Almighty that goes with it. Satan has been deciving the world since the beginning of time and man has been caught hook, line an sinker.

If you want to be honest in any way you need to compare you ideas with the real world. What can be more real than what is given to us by our creator? Our nafs or self are inclines towards evil and we all must fight or Jihad against this by trying to implement the Laws of God rather than the laws of satan.

You are just making this jibberish up.

If you get a telescope and look at the Moon you will see that the mountains on it cast shadows.

These shadows get longer as the surface of the Moon gets closer to the line of the day/night boundary on the Moon just like they do on Earth as dusk approaches.

This shows that the Moon is a sphere. You will see no clouds on the Moon.

Wednesday 22 July 2015

I got to the spot at 09:55 PM and the moon was almost half but not quiet.
At 10:15 PM the moon's light began to dim.
At 10:30 PM the moon's light disappeared completely but the outline of the moon is still there.
About 5 - 10 mins later it disappeared completely.

So this event was not unique to Ramadan.
It seems to me that this event occurs during the 5th and 6th of the Hijri (Islamic) calendar. Those who are not aware the 1st of the month is calculated if there is a perfect crescent. The Islamic calendar has 30 days.

On a separate note, the moon has a black cloud like substance that covers it. This is how we get the crescent, half moon etc. When this withdraws to the other side of the moon, we get a full moon.

What about the stars, especially the ones near the moon?  Do they continue to shine normally while the moon dims, or does the entire region of the sky become dim?

Is the view of the Moon different from the UAE than it is from Jordan? I have watched the Moon set there. Most beautiful desert I have ever been in.
