Supermoon

The celestial phenomenon, known as the supermoon, graced the skies Friday and Saturday.

Supermoons occur when a full moon is at its shortest distance from the Earth on its orbit, which results in a bigger and brighter moon.

The next supermoon spotting will be Aug. 10 and Sept. 9, according to NASA.

See photos above of the amazing sightings in California and around the world.
