8 Pictures Of The World Famous Super Moon That Shone Above Dubai Last Night
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
