Martin Marthadinata in Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia wrote on December 3, 2017: “Today is supermoon, the last 2017. I took this image over Juanda International Airport, just 20 minutes after moonrise at altitude 5 degrees from horizon.”
Here’s a comparison between the December 3 full moon at perigree (closest to Earth for the month) and the year’s farthest full moon in June at apogee (farthest from Earth for the month) by Muzamir Mazlan at Telok Kemang Observatory, Port Dickson, Malaysia.
Talha Zia wrote: “This image shows the supermoon of December 3, 2017 at 99.8% illumination as captured from Karachi, Pakistan. 50 images centred and cropped in PIPP, Aligned and stacked in Registax 6 and color processing in Adobe Lightroom.”
Cairbre Ó Ciardha at Cill Inion Leinin, Dublin, Ireland wrote on December 3, 2017: “Cloud cover was the problem in trying to snatch this shot.”
Tharaka Jayawardhana in Katunayaka, Sri Lanka caught a 22-degree halo around the supermoon, just after midnight, local time, on the morning of December 4.
Nima Asadzadeh in Tehran, Iran wrote on December 3: “Tonight, the moon was closer to the Earth than during the last year. This phenomenon is called “Supermoon.” I just got a right location on Google map and tried to be there on time! I took this shot when the moon was rising from the tower! Hope you enjoy this shot!”
Peter Lowenstein in Mutare, Zimbabwe contributed this composite image of the rising supermoon on the evening of December 3, 2017.
Patrick Prokop caught the nearly full moon on the evening of December 2, 2017, rising into what’s called a mackerel sky. He wrote: “This full moon is occurring just before it reaches perigee (closest approach to Earth in its orbit) at 222,100 miles. This makes it look a bit bigger and brighter than other full moons. Plus, it is causing the morning high tides to be abnormally high.”
Gowrishankar Lakshminarayanan had less than ideal weather conditions for the super moonrise on December 2. He wrote; “It was a gloomy evening in New York City as heavy clouds curtained the rise of the near full supermoon. However, after 3 hours into the rise, the sky cleared up spectacularly and it was a treat to watch the moon risen almost 42 degrees up. It was challenging to capture the moonshot at this altitude, but am glad to have taken the image.”
Eliot Herman said his location – Tucson, Arizona – was cloudy all day, but the clouds cleared for a while in the evening, so that he could capture the images to create this composite. He wrote: “This is a Questar telescope image acquired with a Nikon D850 @ iso 400. This is a stack of 9 images differing by 0.3 stops assembled from TIFs with Lynkeos and processed by Lucy Richardson before final Photoshop adjustments.”
The bright star near the supermoon on December 3 was Aldebaran, the Eye of the Bull in the constellation Taurus. Karthik Easvur in Hyderabad, India used a double exposure to capture them both in this image.
