Jerusalemites gather to watch supermoon, despite cloud cover

Dozens of Israelis gather on Jerusalem’s Haas Promenade to take photographs of the “supermoon,” a phenomenon in which the moon appears significantly larger than usual.

Some of the nearly 40 people express disappointment as the moon, which has not been this close since 1948, is mostly covered by clouds.
