Rare Astronomical Phenomenon Will See the Sun Align Perfectly Vertical Over the Holy Kaaba Tomorrow

A Biannual Phenomenon

A massive astronomical event will occur directly over the Holy Kaaba tomorrow. The sun will align perfectly vertical over the sacred structure. This rare alignment happens at exactly 12:26 PM local Makkah time. The sun reaches the exact latitude of Makkah and stands 90 degrees overhead.

Verifying the Qibla

Jeddah Astronomy Society Director Majed Abu Zahra explained the massive significance entirely. This alignment provides the most accurate astronomical method for verifying the Qibla direction. The physical position of the sun points directly toward the Holy Kaaba. The shadow of any vertical object points in the exact opposite direction.

Testing the Theory

Worshippers globally can test this scientific phenomenon easily tomorrow. You simply place a straight vertical object on a level surface. Note the shadow direction at the exact moment of solar alignment. This ancient method remains incredibly precise for distant global cities.
