Apparently, it is the most spectacular supermoon since 1948 lit up the sky, appearing bigger and brighter than usual.
According to astronomers, the moon came closer to Earth than it has done for 69 years. It happens at the point in the orbit of the moon at which it is nearest to the earth, otherwise known as perigee.
It is believed that nothing will match it until the moon makes a similar approach on November 25 2034.
