Supermoon rises over a tree in Santiago de Compostela

The “supermoon” rises over a tree in Santiago de Compostela, on November 14, 2016.
The phenomenon happens when the moon is full at the same time as, or very near, perigee — its closest point to Earth on an elliptical, monthly orbit. It was the closest to Earth since 1948 at a distance of 356,509 kilometres (221,524 miles), creating what NASA described as “an extra-supermoon”.
