Tomorrow is partial solar eclipse and at its peak the sun will be 80% covered
I want to observe this with my telescope but i cant seem to find a place where i can do this

Usually i go to an abandoned parking space near technopark which is good but not great, so i was wondering if anyone know of any publicly accessible space where i can observe this

The main issue is that i dont have a car and i will be traveling through public transport, so looking for something in city

Thank you

What if the spidy alert in the end of spiderman brand new day is for Miguel O Hara from future played by the voice Oscar Isaac himself as a variant of moon knight?

How cool would that be?

Pakistan’s Hajj quota is usually around 179,000 pilgrims. Even at an average cost of PKR 1.5 million per person (around $5,400 USD), that is roughly PKR 268 billion, or nearly $1 billion USD, leaving Pakistan in one Hajj season alone.

And that is just Pakistan. Multiply that across the Muslim world, and Saudi Arabia ends up receiving huge economic benefit from religion through hotels, transport, visas, and pilgrimage infrastructure.

Historically, Hajj was difficult, simple, and non commercial. Today it feels heavily monetized, with luxury towers, premium packages, and wealth based experiences around a religious obligation that is supposed to emphasize equality.

If the goal was purely service and not profit, then why not

standardized accommodation for everyone
minimal luxury commercialization
capped yearly numbers
subsidized basic lodging

Am I the only one who thinks this contradiction is strange?

-concluding discussions-

Good discussions guys, thanks for talking about this with me. I mean no disrespect for saudi or anyone this was just a discussion

Either way i still think that it is “profit from religion”. Money is moving from struggling countries to saudia for free and yes saudi is making infra better and maybe losing money on it but as i said below

“Even if i am losing money on a bad sector that is bringing in customer and revenue i will keep it because it is good for the company”

Simple math and economy

I will do umrah this year with my family and thats how i got to thinking of this.

Loved all your responses and no blame on saudi for sure

Just the labeling is wrong. It is for sure “profit from religion”
