The supermoon was at its closest point to earth and appeared 14 percent larger and 30 percent brighter than normal.

At times, the moon appeared to have an orange-reddish hue, which is why this occurrence is often referred to as a "blood moon."

The next chance to catch an eclipse of a supermoon will be in 2033.
