Last night saw the second of three consecutive "supermoons" that will occur this year, and some of the photos coming in from around the world are spectacular. A supermoon, or perigee full moon, occurs when the moon's full phase coincides with its perigee, or its closest point of orbit. When this occurs the moon is said to appear up to 30% larger than a non-perigee full moon. For more information on supermoons, check out our coverage here and here.
We've also pulled together 10 of the most breathtaking images of last night's moon that are currently being share on social media. Take a look!
