title: "SUPARCO predicts Rabi-us-Sani moon sighting for September 12"
description: "Most outlets reported that the Pakistan Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO) predicted the Rabi-us-Sani crescent would be sighted on September 12, with the Islamic month likely to begin the following day. While most framed the date of the new moon as September 11 at 08:27 PST, some noted the visibility would depend on weather conditions and the Ruet-e-Hilal Committee’s decision. A few outlets, such as ARY News and 24 News HD, mentioned that the crescent might be more visible in coastal areas. Overall, the coverage was consistent in reporting the forecast, with minor variations in emphasis on visibility conditions and regional sighting likelihood."
