In essence, these lunar occurrences are just full moons, but what really sets them apart is the sheer size that they appear to be for us spectators on earth.

In scientific circles, this is called the perigee.
Here is a collection of photos from across Southeast Asia that show how photographers chose to document the only supermoon of 2017.
