The world was treated to the Supermoon on 5 May 2012.

If you didn’t know, the orbit of the Moon around the Earth isn’t a perfect circle. It’s an ellipse. At its nearest point, the Moon is about 50,000 km closer to the Earth than it is at its farthest point.

Science and numbers aside, it makes for pretty pictures. Enjoy!
