Here Are Some of the Best Snapshots of Saturday’s Supermoon…

Revelation 21:23, "And the city, (New Jerusalem in heaven), does not need light from the sun or the moon  to shine in it: for the glory of God illuminates it, and Jesus the Lamb is the light of it."
From TheBlaze:

In case it was cloudy where you were sitting on Saturday late evening or early Sunday, or if you plum forgot, or if you just can’t get enough of the amazing optical illusion, we’ve compiled some of the best images of the supermoon — the biggest and brightest full moon of 2012.

In Brazil, the supermoon illuminated the landmark Christ the Redeemer statue and later set behind a shanty town. In Florida, fishermen worked their lines amid the moonlight in Bal Harbour. And near Athens, tourists watched as the moon rose behind the Temple of Poseidon.
The moon was the closest it will get to the Earth this year — and appeared 14 percent larger because of that. At its peak it was about 221,802 miles from Earth. That’s about 15,300 miles closer than average.
