Australia likes to go big, whether it's with giant spiders, dinosaur footprints or stargazing records. The Australian National University (ANU) managed to wrangle over 40,000 people to all look at the moon at the same time on Wednesday night. 

The group stargazing experience happened across hundreds of locations around the country. ANU alone counted over 3,500 people at its telescope and binocular-pointing party. Viewers had to spend 10 minutes gazing at the moon during the record attempt.
