Supermoon lights up
The "supermoon" rises behind the Temple of Poseidon in Cape Sounion, south east of Athens, Greece, while tourists watch. Saturday's event is a "supermoon," the closest and therefore the biggest and brightest full moon of the year. (AP)
The "supermoon" rises over some apartment buildings in Toronto. 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)
