hmmm, wont find out when eid is till tonite, but here is a lil bit of info leading us to belive it most likely wont be till Friday

Eid-al-Fitr: The Astronomical New Moon is on Wednesday, November 2, 2005, at 1:25 Universal Time, i.e. November 1, 8:25pm Eastern Standard Time - or 5:25pm Pacific Standard Time. On November 2, the moon would be about 24 hours old on West Coast of USA and still not visible even by telescopes, because the moon will be in Southern Hemisphere. It could be seen in South America (with difficulty by naked eye) and possibly in South Africa (with aided eye - Binocular/telescope). Although it may be possible to see a moon in perfect conditions in some South American countries like Chile, it is highly unlikely, because the moon is setting in less than 25 minutes after the sunset (in Santiago, Chile), and the sky is too bright with the glare of the sun even after 25 minutes. "ISNA accepts sighting within 48 contiguous states of USA and the whole North America is outside all possible visibility curves. So, Eid in North America Eid is expected to be on Friday, November 4, 2005. Similarly, in Europe, Asia, Middle East and Australia, Eid is expected to be on Friday, November 4, 2005, if sighting is the criterion. Visibility curve for November 3 is also given below:

Location Moonset-Sunset Age (Hrs) Angle from Sun Altitude Remarks
Sidney, Australia 17 minutes 7.0 4.4° 2.4° Impossible even by telescope

Today.

But nephew related the most bizarre thing to me. His friend at college who is Pakistani is celebrating Eid on Friday. Fine. Except we started Ramadan at the same time, so a few People of Pakistani origin (in the UK) are fasting for errr 31 days :o ??? I'm being totally serious.



Wassalaam
