June 23, 2013, the day of "Supermoon", everybody are talking about this. Facebooks, twitters, text massages. Abu Dhabi Astronomy organized an event for this. SMS was sent to it's members plus email was also sent. We are excited to capture this event where the moon came to it's closest distance to the earth. Our call time for the group was 6pm and many people responded to this. They came on time and excitedly waited for the appearance of the moon. Telescope and cameras are with us. We talked about astronomy topics while waiting for the moon. We are in one language, the language of the universe.
Sun was set already but the moon did not showed up yet. But we are still patiently waiting with excitement. In front of us are huge building that may be blocked us from seeing the moon in the beginning. The light from the sun was already disappear and we almost lost our excitement. My intuition told me to go in front of the place where are and checked that maybe the moon hiding behind those buildings, and I wasn't mistaken. I took my cellphone and take a shot and went back to the group and showed it to them. Everybody almost jumping to their excitement for in few moment the moon rise up from those giant buildings.
We set-up once and WALLAH!!!! here comes the moon, yellowish in color. So big, so beautiful.
Finally we capture one of the historical event in 2013. Supermoon, super fun.
