Stupendous shots of a super supermoon

The November supermoon is more like an extra-supermoon this time around. As of Monday morning, our satellite is closer to Earth than it's been at any point since 1948. The result is a moon that can appear 30 percent brighter and 14 percent bigger than your average full moon.

Unsurprisingly, photographers lust after luscious shots of luna. This one comes from NASA with the supermoon rising behind a Soyuz rocket at the Baikonur Cosmodrome launch pad in Kazakhstan. NASA astronaut Peggy Whitson, Russian cosmonaut Oleg Novitskiy of Roscosmos, and ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet will launch from the Cosmodrome on November 18 to spend six months at the International Space Station.

November's extra-supermoon even inspired some less well-rounded imitators. Lego shared this promotional shot of its tribute to our night companion on Monday.
