After her encounter with the supermoon on the night of November 14, she wasn’t able to sleep and decided to see if the moon was still big early morning of November 15. She grabbed her cap and went to the runway again. Jen had to look for the moon in the sky and realized it was in the other side of the runway because the moon was now setting. The photo was taken at 6:04 in the  morning. Jen Tio shares that it is the setting of the moon that she really wanted to capture. She likes it better than when it rises.
