What is Al-Wahbah Volcanic Crater? 🌋🏜️ Al-Wahbah Crater is the largest and deepest volcanic crater in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. 🇸🇦
Why stargazing there? ✨🌌 It’s far from city glow with dry desert air and open horizons—perfect for deep-sky views.
What we might see on 17 April 🔭🌠 • Jupiter • The Milky Way Galaxy arm visible to the naked eye 🌌✨ • Deep-sky showpieces: Galaxies, Clusters, and Nebulas (great targets in dark conditions). 🌌 • Bonus: Some meteors (Shooting Stars) 🌠☄️
• Marble Mountain — a historic marble-cutting site on the road to Wahbah. You can still spot pale cut faces and scattered fragments from past quarrying. 🏔️🪨📸
