A Supermoon is pictured in Istanbul 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". / AFP / OZAN KOSE (Photo credit should read OZAN KOSE/AFP/Getty Images)
