Abstract

Computer simulation have been developed to calculate the dates, ecliptical,
equatorial and horizontal coordinates every month at al Najaf holy city. The new
moon starts at the moment when the ecliptic longitude of the sun matches that of the
moon, i.e., the difference between them vanishes. The program can be used to
predict the birth dates of the moon for the next ten year or more.
