Egypt is witnessing a rare astronomical phenomenon .. Look at the sky at night!

He added, “This conjunction will occur and the Moon will be in its increasing humpback phase, which is the brightest spot in the night sky.” The presence of the moon near Jupiter means only on the dome of the sky, as they are not close to each other in space.
