If you haven't looked up in the sky early Sunday morning, you may have missed the largest, brightest full moon of the year.
At 7:32 a.m. EDT Sunday, the moon was at its closest point to Earth for the month, approximately 221,824 miles away. It looked about 14 percent larger and 30 percent brighter than normal, Live Science reported.
The occurrence, referred to by astronomers as the "perigee full moon" or the "supermoon" by casual observers, lasted about 12 hours. A moon of similar size and brightness isn't expected to occur again until 2014, but thankfully many people documented the special event in photos.
Take a look at some of the images and messages people shared about the "supermoon" on social media.
