this will be the last supermoon of the year. the supermoon is just when the moon is closer to us, so, its orbit is not circular, it's elliptical, so there are points in which it is closer to the earth than others and, of course, the closer it is, the larger it looks, so that's what we call a supermoon is when it's a full moon and it happens to be very close in its orbit. the spectacular sight was also visible around the world, shining here over lebanon's war—torn capital, and in hanoi, where residents came out to see the moon dazzling in the night sky. it's been a good yearfor supermoons. last month's hunters moon was even brighter. but are we getting more of them? it'sjust, i think, a lot now is social media has made them kind of a bit more well known, so people are more aware of them

that they're going on — so, they were happening all this time anyway. but same with the names for them — people are more aware of them, which is great, because people look up at the night sky. and more cosmic treats could be in store this weekend. a meteor shower similar to this one seen in croatia in august could be visible in our skies on sunday night. but moon superfans will have to wait a while — there won't be another one of these on show until october next year. will vernon, bbc news. and if you have any snaps of the beaver moon, the supermoon where you were last night, please send them in. did you see it? i saw it early on and the kids spotted it and it was impressive.— on and the kids spotted it and it was impressive. simon? i did and i alwa st was impressive. simon? i did and i always try to _ was impressive. simon? i did and i always try to take _ was impressive. simon? i did and i always try to take a _ was impressive. simon? i did and i always try to take a photo - was impressive. simon? i did and i always try to take a photo because| always try to take a photo because it was so bright, it was shining in the house. it was rubbish. lt
