The celestial phenomenon of the supermoon happens when the moon’s elliptical orbit brings it to the closest point to Earth while the moon is full. And the supermoon appears larger and brighter than the usual full moon. /VCG Photo

Wednesday’s moon is the third supermoon of the year, following a super blood wolf moon on January 21 and a super snow moon on February 19. /VCG Photo
