UAE skies were lit up last night with the Strawberry Super-moon!

This special phenomenon was one among four super moons that will occur this year. The previous one took place earlier this year on May 16. During this event, the moon reflects reddish hues of the sun, making it appear pinkish-red. The celestial event occurs when the moon comes closer to the Earth, and last night’s moon was at a distance of 357.658 Kms from the Earth! For reference, the average distance is 384,472Kms.

That’s berry, berry close guys.
