On Sunday, the only visible Supermoon of 2017 cozied up to the Earth, appearing bigger and brighter than usual in the night sky.
This Supermoon didn't just light up the night skies, it also ignited tempers online, as astrophysicists argued the moon may not have been living up to its "super" name.
That didn't stop photo buffs from stepping out to examine the night skies as the moon reached what's called 'perigee,' or, the position on the elliptically-shaped lunar orbit when the moon comes closest to the Earth. And they weren't disappointed by what they saw.

During a supermoon, technically called a 'perigee syzygy,' the moon can appear up to 30% brighter than usual.
The closer moon can prompt weird weather and cause stronger-than-usual tides to roll in.
If you missed this one, there are two more Supermoons coming very soon in 2018.
The full moons on January 1 and 31, 2018 will both also be Supermoons.
NASA says if you can only catch one of the upcoming January Supermoons, the one on January 31, 2018 promises to be especially magnificent.
That night will also feature a lunar eclipse, when the moon, earth and sun all line up. That often causes the moon to shine with a reddish hue, in what's known as a 'blood moon.'
"We’re seeing all of the Earth’s sunrises and sunsets at that moment reflected from the surface of the Moon," NASA scientist Sarah Noble said in a release.
