 The day I was returning home from Amsterdam Steemfest there was a Superfullmoon event globally. here are some images taken during that at Athens. Superfullmoon is when the moon comes to the closest eliptic point towards earth, 

  A Supermoon happens when a Full Moon or New Moon coincides with the  Moon's closest approach to Earth; also called perigee. A Super Full Moon  looks around 12% to 14% bigger than its counterpart, the Micromoon

 The moon was the closest to Earth since 1948 at a distance of  356,509 kilometres (221,524 miles), creating what NASA described as "an  extra-supermoon".
