What the supermoon looked like in the USA, Spain, the UK and Myanmar

On the night of December 3 to 4, Earthlings could observe a supermoon. The moon approached our planet at the closest possible distance — 358,500 kilometers instead of the usual 384,500 kilometers — and this position coincided with the full moon. During a supermoon, the size of the lunar disk visible from Earth increases by 14%, and the brightness increases by 30%. Here's how it looked in different countries of the world.

Muscovites could not see the supermoon because of the clouds, but residents of Novosibirsk were able to observe it.

This winter, the natural phenomenon will happen twice more: on the night of January 1 to January 2 and from January 31 to February 1, 2018.
