Come Tuesday and you will be able to see both the Moon and Venus close to one another in Doha’s sky, a leading astronomer based in Qatar has said.
Dr Beshir Marzouk said that on Tuesday (January 31), Venus will be at 4.1 degree north to Moon’s centre, reported Gulf Times.
The best time to observe the Moon and Venus by the naked eye is at 5.34pm, he said. It can be seen from other GCC and Arab countries as well.
