From Beijing to Berlin, star gazers around the world admired the supermoon, the largest, brightest full moon in nearly seven decades, as it made its way across the skied on Sunday and yesterday. <br/><br/>The 'supermoon' reached its brightest in Asia last night. The Moon was closest, only 2 lakh 21 thousand 524 miles away at 11:21 GMT. <br/><br/>The moon orbits the Earth in an ellipse, not a circle, so it is sometimes closer to the Earth than it is at other times. <br/><br/>When the perigee, the closest approach, and the full moon coincide, it is known as a supermoon. The moon will not be this close again until November, 25th 2034 when it will be even closer, within 2 lakh 21 thousand 485 miles.
