![]() A supermoon shines brightly last night in Beijing, as the smog that often blankets the capital and most of the industrial north in winter subsided for the evening. The supermoon phenomenon occurs when the moon, which follows an elliptical orbit around Earth, reaches a point closer than usual. A supermoon occurred just last month, putting on a show for skygazers worldwide. Chinese astronomers expect this supermoon will likely reach its closest point to China this morning.
