Two people kiss as the supermoon shines over the lighthouse of Favaritx, Menorca, Balearic Islands, Spain, on the evening of Saturday 08 February 2020.
The first supermoon of the year has appeared in the night sky this weekend.
A supermoon occurs when a full moon falls near or on perigee, which means the full moon coincides with the point in orbit in which the moon is closest to Earth.
As a result, the moon can appear to be up to 14% larger and 30% brighter during a supermoon, but it’s very hard to spot the difference.
This Supermoon will be the first of four supermoons in 2020, with three more expected for March, April and May.
