Miss the super moon last Saturday? You know, that’s when the moon appeared 14 percent larger and 30 percent brighter than other full moons this year.
That’s when it’s orbit brought it closest to Earth at about the same time it appeared its fullest.
Super moons appear about once a year, according to NASA.
This one got a lot of play on YouTube. And the Great Lakes served as a popular backdrop for photographers – and anglers – who wanted to capture it. Some examples:

Not a lot of action here
You’ve got to sit through a lot of wriggling catfish, but eventually the super moon puts in a brief appearance above Lake Erie at about 3:20.
