AST.RONOMICAL EMPI RICAL REFER.ENCES:

1. Danjon limit:

Hilaal will appear if the distance of the moon to the sun angle is
greater of 7 degrees. ( Odeh, 2004, lslamic Crescent Observation Project (ICOP)
to found a Danjon limit = 6.4 degrees).

2.

Early unification conference in lstambul lnternational Hijri Month in 1978:

Beginning of the month starts when the distance between the moon and the sun's
arc is greater than 8 degrees and moon height of the horizon at sunset is greater
than 5 degrees.

3.

The record observations of the crescent moon in the records of modern

astronomy:
Hilal Ramadan 1427 Hijri, aged 13 hours 15 minutes photographed with a telescope CCD camera in Germany.

Danjon Limit: rhe distance the moon-sun > 70

Odeh (2004t
di"Experimental
Astronomy", Vol. 18, pp.
39-64: using 737
observations, almost
half of them obtained by
the lslamic Crescent
Observation Project
(ICOP). From the
database we found a

Danjon limit of 6.4

degrees.
