Antares to Appear Near Crescent Moon Over Qatar on 14 October 2026

Qatar: Residents and skywatchers in Doha will have the chance to see the red supergiant star Antares close to the crescent moon on Wednesday, 14 October 2026.

The Arabian Peninsula’s clear desert skies often facilitate naked‑eye observations of celestial events.

Observing Antares and the Crescent Moon

In a social media post, Qatar Calendar House said the star would appear close to the waxing crescent Moon of Jumada Al‑Awwal, allowing the two objects to be seen together without optical aid.

Visibility Details

The pair will be visible above the southwestern horizon after sunset and will remain in view until the moon sets at 7:26 pm.
