On Thursday 31-7-2014 at 14:30hr GMT, I and my twin brother—one in Amsterdam and one in Tehran—looked at the same direction into the sky at the same time.

We were taking part in the fourth omnigaze.

Ominigaze is the action in which people in different locations around the world join together to direct their looks towards the same point into the sky.

The ultimate number of people involved in the action would be the population of the world.
