Supermoon is the biggest in 68 years

The biggest and brightest supermoon since 1948 appeared on Monday night, providing a spectacular opportunity for observers and photographers.

As the moon orbits Earth in an oval pattern, it appears to be larger than usual each time it approaches a point close to Earth. This year, there will be a total of six supermoons, including in October, November and December.

According to NASA's website, a full moon won't come this close again until Nov 25, 2034.
