14 November 2016 supermoon: in pictures

While many know this phenomenon as something called a ‘supermoon’, the correct term is a ‘perigee syzygy Moon’; perigee meaning the closest point the Moon comes to Earth in its elliptical orbit of our planet and syzygy meaning the alignment of three celestial objects, in this case the Sun, Moon and Earth.

Many of you managed to photograph the full Moon and shared your images with us online. Here we present a selection of our favourite 'supermoon' captures.
