Supermoon is a phenomenon which takes place when the full moon is closest to the Earth, is biggest and brightest. This phenomenon has occurred after 69 years. Supermoon was last witnessed in 1948. A supermoon occurs due to the strange, egg-shaped orbit of the moon. One part of the orbit known as the perigee, is about 30,000 miles closer to earth than the apogee, or the furthest part. The Moon was closest - only 221,524 miles (356,509km) away - at 11:21 GMT. 'Supermoon' wows viewers with closest glimpse since 1948
