The largest supermoon in 68 years reached its peak this morning at 8:52am EST but was visible around the world starting yesterday. The one of-a-kind event (we won't see a moon this big and close to Earth until November 2034) quickly became an ideal photo op for those marveling at the magnificence of nature. Below, we round up some of the most spectacular photos of the moon from across the globe:
