Saudi skies witness rare ‘Strawberry Moon’ for the first time in 18 years

 

                                         

                              Riyadh: The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s Northern Borders Region witnessed a rare celestial spectacle on Wednesday evening, June 11, with the rise of the full moon of Dhul- Hijjah , commonly referred to as the Strawberry Moon. This marks the final full moon of the year 1446 AH, rising from the furthest point on the south-eastern horizon. This phenomenon occurs only once every 18.6 years, with the next occurrence expected in 2043. Astronomical specialists explain that this event is linked to the Moon’s extreme southern declination, part of the Metonic Cycle, which lasts approximately 19 years, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported. Upon rising, the Moon displayed a golden-pink hue due to atmospheric effects, earning it the name “Strawberry Moon,” a term used in some cultures to signify the last full moon of spring. The Northern Borders Region has become a favoured location for observing astronomical phenomena, thanks to its expansive horizons and minimal light pollution, which enhance visibility of the night sky. In a stunning photo taken in Dubai, the Strawberry Moon appears sparkling and bright between the towers that dot the city’s skyline.

Astronomers capture the birth of planets around a baby sun outside solar system

Astronomers capture the birth of planets around a baby sun outside solar system In a groundbreaking discovery, astronomers have captured rare and vivid images showing the birth of planets around a young, sun-like star outside our solar system. Using powerful telescopes such as ALMA (Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array), researchers observed a protoplanetary disk — a swirling mass of gas and dust — forming distinct gaps and rings, clear indicators of developing planets. This "baby sun," still in its early stellar phase, offers a unique glimpse into the cosmic processes that likely shaped our own solar system billions of years ago. The findings not only enhance our understanding of planetary formation but also support existing models about how planets emerge and evolve within stellar nurseries across the universe.

  Fake Science Papers Journals Overwhelme A growing wave of fake scientific papers is flooding academic journals, raising serious concerns about the integrity of scholarly publishing. These counterfeit studies, often generated using AI or produced by paper mills, are slipping through peer review, overwhelming editors and damaging public trust in science. Experts warn that without stricter verification and transparency, the credibility of legitimate research could be undermined across fields.
