The Musaliar family drove for 45 kms all the way from Al Barsha 1 and arrived at Dubai Astronomy Group observatory in Mushrif Park before 5pm to get the best view to see simultaneously an extra big 'super moon', a blue moon, and a total lunar eclipse on a single nightWatch out for the next total lunar eclipse on July 27, 2018
"Unfortunately we did not see the full lunar eclipse because of the thick clouds but at least we saw the super moon. This is the second extra huge moon which showed up this month, therefore making it a super blue moon," added the Grade 9 student at Gems Modern Academy Dubai.
Her father, Harees, and seven-year old brother, Mazen, were equally impressed and enjoyed the huge crowd which turned up at Mushrif National Park, despite the cold wind.
"It was beautiful and amazing," Hassan Ahmad Al Hariri, CEO of Dubai Astronomy Group said. "Though it was a working day, people of all ages - parents and their kids - came and exceeded our expectations of hosting around 500 people."
"The best view was on the country's east coast, the sea side of Fujairah. I got a report that the full lunar eclipse, which lasted for around three minutes, was seen in full view from there," Al Hariri told Khaleej Times.
At around 6.25pm, the clouds dissipated and the moon showed up with partial lunar eclipse. At this time, Indian mum, Pooja, carried her four year old son, Ekaagra, to get a good view of the sky.Students in awe of rare moon
Meanwhile, visiting tourist and photo enthusiast Rohit Hariharan, said he got many good photos of the Dubai skyline showing the super moon. Unfortunately, I was not able to capture the full lunar eclipse but I have another opportunity to see it in July."
