Karaite Korner - New Moon Report November 1998 Part 1 The New Moon was seen from Jerusalem by Devorah and Nehemia Gordon on Friday November 20, 1998. The moon was first sighted at 16:52 by Devorah and at 16:55 by Nehemia. The moon was still visible at 17:12 when we left the observation point. The sun had already set when we arrived at the observation point at 16:32. Sunset was calculated for 16:33 although it should be born in mind that there are mountains on the horizon which aren't accounted for in the calculations.
