Did you get a chance to witness the fourth and final supermoon of 2022?
The last supermoon of the year lit up the night sky on Thursday. The moon had different hues and appeared larger and brighter than when the moon is at its furthest point from Earth.
The astronomical event, called the Sturgeon Moon, did not become visible until 9:36 PM EDT. NASA says the supermoon will remain in this phase until Saturday morning.
Here’s a quick look at the supermoon from around the world in case you missed it.
