Stunning Supermoon Seen Rising Over Los Angeles Skyline

An impressive supermoon, the only one of the year locally, was seen rising over south California on Sunday, December 3.

A supermoon is “a moon that is full when it is also at or near its closest point in its orbit around Earth”, according to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Sunday’s supermoon was the only one of 2017, according to NBC California. Credit: Instagram/Robert James Hughes via Storyful
