Last night, it was expected one of the biggest super moons of 2018 was to pass over Dubai.

Our neighbours in Saudi had already caught a glimpse on Monday night, and the pictures were absolutely STUNNING.

So residents of Dubai prepared themselves for an epic night of moon-gazing, but it looks like some residents had a better view than others….

NASA told us it was coming

A supermoon is coming! Tonight, the full Moon will be at or near its closest point in its orbit around Earth, making it a supermoon. Bundle up, get outside and look up! https://t.co/9bpbhOzKnL Follow @NASAMoon for more lunar facts! pic.twitter.com/g1Bdqad8sq
