What is a supermoon?
Super moon occurs when the distance between the moon and earth is least, means moon is closest to the earth during this time and that's the reason why earth's natural satellite appears as a giant big body. The super moon will illuminate 30 percent more brighter, appear 14 percent bigger than the usual moon.
It is also known as the 'Pink Moon' after the pink flowers that start to appear in the fields this month in some places.
The largest, brightest supermoon of 2020 rose in the night sky on Tuesday over hushed cities, stilled factories and countries in lockdown due to the novel coronavirus.
Let's take a look at the incredible images across the world.
