Residents across Qatar will have the opportunity to observe Saturn appearing close to the Moon in the night sky this evening, Sunday, September 27.

The two celestial objects will be visible together with the naked eye, offering an opportunity for residents and astronomy enthusiasts to observe the night sky. The pairing will be visible above the eastern horizon after Saturn’s setting time at 5:50 PM and will remain observable until shortly before sunrise on Monday.

Saturn is the second-largest planet in the Solar System and is known for its distinctive ring system. While Saturn and the Moon can be observed with the naked eye during this celestial event, astronomical instruments are needed to see Saturn’s rings.

The event provides an opportunity for residents in Qatar to observe the planet alongside the Moon without specialised equipment.
