Supermoon: Incredible images from around the world

 This year’s supermoon appears 14 per cent bigger and up to 30 per cent brighter than sual. The ‘supermoon’ event, described as “undeniably beautiful” by American space agency Nasa, is the result of the moon coming closer to Earth than it has done for 69 years. Nothing will match it until the moon makes a similar approach on November 25 2034.
