You won't see another supermoon this year, so let's relive last night's

It was hard to miss the spectacular supermoon that lit up Australian skies last night.

Around the world, people turned their eyes to the heavens to take in the beauty and power of the extraordinary celestial display.

The moon was dubbed a flower moon to represent springtime in the northern hemisphere in the month when flowers start to bloom after winter.

Called a supermoon because its orbit brings it closer to the Earth than usual, Thursday night's moon was the last of its kind for the year.

Just a month ago, on April 8, the pink supermoon dazzled skies.

If you missed it, you'll have to wait until April 26 next year to see the next one.
