August's Supermoon

On Sunday night, photographers around the world captured images of the "supermoon"-- a full moon that occurred as the moon was closest to Earth in its orbit. The moon appeared 30% brighter and 14% larger than the smallest full moon of the year back in January. Stay tuned for yet another supermoon on September 9th! More at Space.com.
