A Lunar cycle is constant, it's something calculated scientifically, why each marja3 comes up with a different day to start Ramadan? same for the Ending

2- Sayyed Ali sistani says that you also need to see the moon with your very eye... and that is because every location on earth may see the moon from a different angle and that goes back to the fraction of light that is refracted on that very same location, that changes with countries that have large masses of water bordering them or if you're in a continental country. which is why 2 different locations in the world may not see a full moon on the same night. Ya3ne lebanon and mongolia may not see the moon on the same night.

3- Sayyed Mohamad Hussein says that if a certain location in the world that if you're in honolulu for example ( 7 time zone difference), and there is a full moon then it can be announced that it is actually a full moon or that the full moon will appear in lebanon. Which is why his calculations and NASA's are ALMOST always the same. Since we're in different time zones and locations and all so sometimes different results may occur.
