Super Worm Moon in UAE: Residents enjoy lunar spectacle – The National

Super Worm Moon in UAE: Residents enjoy lunar spectacle. Sky gazers in the UAE witnessed the second super moon of the year late on Monday.. The lunar spectacle - dubbed the 'Super Worm Moon' - started rising from the east at about 5.11pm.. Mr Al Hariri said the event was just one of "four super moon sightings to take place in 2020".. The first occurred last month and the remaining two will take place in April and May.. He said the 'Super Worm Moon' would present some of the best viewing from the UAE.. Mr Al Hariri recommended viewing the Moon from areas with little to no light pollution.. According to Nasa, the 'Super Worm Moon' is named due to its occurrence at a time of the year when earthworm casts appear as ground thaws.. On December 26 last year, UAE residents turned out in their droves to see the rare solar eclipse, which was last visible in the country in 1847..
