Thousands of people in Qatar looked to the sky last night to get their fill of the brightest moon the world has seen in 70 years.

Many expressed awe and wonder at the sight:

However, some were less excited about the ensuing traffic jams, and others complained that the moon didn’t look quite like they hoped.

For those who missed it last night, NASA recommends trying again after sunset today (around 5pm Qatar time):
