Supermoon puts on a dazzling display across the world
The full moon appeared bigger and brighter than usual Tuesday night, with the natural satellite positioned closer to earth than usual, just 222,159 miles away.

The moon will come even closer to earth on Aug. 30 at just 222,043 miles away, according to The AP.

The last time two full supermoons were spotted in the sky in the same month was in 2018 and it isn't expected to happen again until 2037, Italian astronomer Gianluca Masi, founder of the Virtual Telescope Project, told The AP.
