Supermoon was Oct. 16th

Supermoon was on Oct. 16th, but the moon was still very bright last night. Here is what Wikipedia says about the Supermoon: A supermoon is the coincidence of a full moon or a new moon with the closest approach the Moon makes to the Earth on its elliptical orbit, resulting in the largest apparent size of the lunar disk as seen from Earth.[1] The Moon's distance varies each month between approximately 357,000 kilometers (222,000 mi) and 406,000 km (252,000 mi) due to its elliptical orbit around the Earth (distances given are centre-to-centre).[6][7][8]

Last Supermoon 2017

The larger than usual moon (closer to earth) had a very colorful set of rings around it tonight.

Supermoon Dec. 3rd, 2017.

This is what my camera picked up. Even though the moon is not clear, the rings are what I noticed very vividly in this image.
