The closest, brightest and biggest full moon in more than 50 years was visible in New Zealand on Monday night.
Known as a supermoon, the phenomenon occurs when the moon is at its closest approach to Earth. It was only around 357,000km away - when it's at its furthest, it's about 50,000km further away, thanks to its elliptical orbit.
A supermoon can look up to 14 percent bigger than normal, and 30 percent brighter.

The event inspired Kiwis to grab their cameras and capture the amazing event.

The moon won't be as big again until November 2034.
