Northern borders region: The last quarter moon of Ramadan was sighted at dawn over the Northern Borders Region, appearing half-illuminated while the other half remained in shadow. This marks one of the moon's main phases during its monthly orbit around the Earth.
According to Saudi Press Agency, the last quarter phase occurs when the moon has completed approximately three-quarters of its orbit, with its eastern half illuminated by sunlight. During this phase, the moon is generally visible from after midnight until midday.
The last quarter phase is a significant astronomical stage preceding the new moon, signaling the approach of the new crescent sighting.
