This month’s full moon, which is being called a Hunter’s Moon or Supermoon, was the brightest of the year due to the moon’s close proximity to the Earth at this time.
While the supermoon was in full effect, a comet by the name of Tsuchinshan-ATLAS was also clearly visible.
This comet won’t return for another 80,000 years!
