Did you get the chance to witness the fourth and final supermoon of 2022?
The last supermoon of the year lit up the night sky on Thursday. The moon had different hues and appeared larger and brighter than when the moon is farthest from Earth.
Referred to as the Sturgeon Moon, the astronomical event did not become visible until 9:36 p.m. EDT. NASA says the supermoon will remain in this phase until Saturday morning.
Here’s a glimpse of the supermoon from around the world in case you missed it.
