In the photo above a full moon rises above the Salgo Castle pictured from Somoskoujfalu, Hungary. This full moon is known as the Pink supermoon because it is the first full moon of spring.
The largest, brightest supermoon of 2020 rose in the night sky on Tuesday over hushed cities, stilled factories and countries in lockdown due to the novel coronavirus that has killed tens of thousands worldwide.
The pink supermoon rises behind the 200 Clarendon Street, formerly know as the John Hancock Tower, in Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
