The supermoon rises over pink-hued mountains near San Diego in California, USA on November 13, 2016. Supermoons occur about once every 14 months on average. However, Sunday night's supermoon is extra super because the moon will be even closer to Earth than usual. At its closest approach, the moon will be 221,524 miles from our planet, compared with an average distance of 238,900 miles. The last time the moon sailed this close to Earth was on Jan. 26, 1948, when it came 30 miles closer. (Photo by Daren Fentiman/ZUMA Wire/Rex Features/Shutterstock)
