Breathtaking images show supermoon lighting up night sky in the most amazing way

A supermoon occurs when a full moon appears within 10% of its closest distance to the Earth. Look at some of the most stunning images of July's supermoon 

An absolutely stunning day for the selenophiles as the bright supermoon lit up the skies in different parts of the world on Monday (July 3). Some of the images were just breathtaking. 

In the image, the supermoon is seen over in Greece. 

It was the first supermoon of 2023 and was brighter in the night sky than any other full moon event that has been witnessed this year. 

The image shows the moon when it was nearing the end of its waxing gibbous phase while rising above the Virgin Mary Chaldean Cathedral in Iraq's Basra city. 

The Royal Observatory in Greenwich, London said that a supermoon occurs when a full moon appears within 10% of its closest distance to the Earth.

For the unversed, July's full moon is usually dubbed the Buck Moon. This year, it became even more special as it was also a supermoon.
