Humongous Moon Spotted

The biggest and brightest "supermoon" of the year dazzled Stargazers around the world.
Also known as the perigee moon, the moon appeared 14% larger and 30% brighter than normal as it reached the point in its orbit closest to the Earth, known as perigee.

 Many took photos of the lunar spectacle, which comes two days before the Perseids meteor shower reaches its peak.

 And before the supermoon became visible to people on Earth, Russian cosmonaut Oleg Artemyev took a series of pictures of the event as seen from the International Space Station (ISS).
