Supermoon lights up

The "supermoon" rises from the top of the Haramoun mountain, as seen from Marjayoun village in south Lebanon. A "supermoon" will light up Saturday's night sky in a once-a-year cosmic show, overshadowing a meteor shower from remnants of Halley's Comet, the U.S. space agency NASA said. The Moon will seem especially big and bright since it will reach its closest spot to Earth at the same time it is in its full phase, NASA said. (REUTERS)
