NEW DELHI: A 'super moon' greeted sky aficionados on Sunday as it appeared biggest and brightest for the year.Super Moon is a situation when the moon is slightly closer to Earth in its orbit than on average, and this effect is most noticeable when it occurs at the same time as a full moon. The phenomenon occurs as the Moon's orbit is elliptical with one side 50,000 km closer to Earth than the other.

In Pic: A supermoon rises over the temple of Poseidon, the ancient Greek god of the seas, in Cape Sounion some 60 km (37 miles) east of Athens June 23, 2013.
