Dear All,

The Moon was clearly seen from Israel tonight (Tuesday 11^th January 2005). I was with a group of students from the Maale Adumim Yeshiva High School. The Moon was first seen with the naked eye against a clear sky by me at 17:06, Shlomi Avinoam, David Delaroza and Matania Iliz at 17:10, Jonathan Hazeh at 17:13, Rina Hoffman at 17:17, Neria Fris at 17:18 and Jonathan Hoffman at 17:19 (T 11°C, RH 91%, P 974 mbar). Yoseph Rothstien from Romema, Jerusalem saw the Moon at 17:17 with binoculars only. However, he has poor eyesight. The Moon was seen from Petach Tikva by Benjamin Pories at 17:05 and Miriam Kaatz at 17:06 (T 13°C, RH 83%), from Noqdim by Bruce Brill at 17:15 and from Netanya by Shmuel Ni at 17:20. As I receive extra information, I will post it on the website (www.geocities.com/royh_il/news/index.htm) but not send extra emails.

The New Moon as seen from Maale Adumim, Israel

Next months New Moon will not be visible to the naked eye from Israel on Wednesday 9^th February 2005 but may be visible with binoculars or a telescope. Please try and look because my prediction that it will be visible may not be correct. The Moon should first appear in Israel on Thursday 10^th February 2005.

Yours,

Roy.
