Description

A supermoon occurs when the moon reaches its closest position to the Earth, known as the perigee, making the satellite appear bigger and brighter than usual. This month's supermoon was a pink moon: the name comes from the herb, moss pink, or wild ground phlox which are bright pink in colour.
