In Pictures: Supermoon lights up night skies around the world
- 4 years ago
Skywatchers around the world have enjoyed stunning views of this month's Supermoon, when the Moon appears larger and brighter.
The phenomenon happens when the celestial satellite reaches its closest point to Earth - known as a perigee - and is on the opposite side of Earth to the sun.
This month's supermoon - the third and final one of the year - is known as the Flower Moon because of its occurrence in Spring.

Did you see the full Moon this morning at 6:45am ET? It's the last in a series of four #supermoon this year. This flower Moon will appear full for about three days around this time, from Tuesday evening through Friday morning. Post a picture if you saw it! pic.twitter.com/iilj8GB3HK
