A beautiful supermoon took over the Vancouver sky last night (PHOTOS)

Did you get a glimpse of the sky in Vancouver last night? If you did, maybe you were able to see the spectacular supermoon shine over the city.

“The term ‘Supermoon’ was coined by the astrologer Richard Nolle in 1979 and refers to either a new or full moon that occurs when the Moon is within 90% of perigee, its closest approach to Earth in a given orbit,” says NASA. “By this definition, in a typical year, there can be three or four full Supermoons in a row.”

If you didn’t get a chance to marvel at the supermoon, these Vancouverites snapped some pics so you can relive the lovely lunar event.
