Northern borders region: Venus has been visible to the naked eye across Northern Borders Region, appearing very bright on the eastern horizon at dawn and on the western horizon after sunset.
According to Saudi Press Agency, Astronomy and Space Club member Adnan Khalifa noted that Venus is one of the brightest objects after the Sun and Moon and is easily seen at dawn or dusk. In local tradition, its dawn appearance is called the 'Morning Star.' When visible after sunset, especially in spring, desert communities use a traditional name tied to shepherding practices: flocks graze until Venus sets, then are brought back to their tents.
Khalifa stated that these traditional names reflect how earlier generations used the sky to regulate daily life in desert environments. The current visibility of Venus offers a good opportunity for astronomy enthusiasts and night photographers, as it is bright and easy to locate without specialized equipment.
