The “Super Moon” phenomenon that occurs every 14 lunar cycles happened last weekend when the Moon appeared full while at its perigee, the term for when it is closest to Earth. During this period, the Moon appeared 14 percent larger and 30 percent brighter than it does when it is at its furthest point from Earth, filling up the weekend skies with its enhanced luminescence.

While most of these images are from the early evening and late night on Saturday, the moon wasn’t technically at its most super until early Sunday morning. The perigee happened at 7:11 a.m., when, presumably, most people were done with their stargazing.

The next Super Moon should occur in August 2014.
