Glimpses of the Supermoon illuminate the night skies of Mow Cop, Yevpatoriya, Sydney, Liepupe, Kyiv, Morocco, Berlin, Skopje, Washington and Mexico.

The Hunter's Moon, a supermoon occurring in October, is one of several supermoons that will take place in 2024 and 2025.

The Supermoon occurs when the full moon coincides with the moon's closest approach to Earth.
