The crescent moon will not be able to be spotted with the naked eye on Thursday, astronomers said in a statement.

More than 25 astronomy specialists from 13 countries signed a statement, in which they indicate that the crescent moon cannot be spotted on Thursday from any Arab country.

“All standards, old and new, show that seeing the crescent on Thursday is not possible with the naked eye from the Arab world,” the statement read.
