The sky over Makkah Al-Mukarramah will witness a unique celestial event tomorrow (Friday), as the moon will be directly perpendicular to the Kaaba.

This rare alignment will occur at 7:07 AM, with the moon positioned at an altitude of 89.5 degrees above the sacred site.

This marks the second and final perpendicularity of the moon for the year 2024, a spectacle that fascinates both astronomers and residents of Makkah alike.

Such occurrences hold significance for those observing celestial phenomena in the holy city, and it’s an event that draws attention from across the globe.
