Supermoon was Oct. 16th

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]

Tomorrow, Nov. 14th is the next Supermoon, the brightest and closest to earth since 1948. The next occurrence will be in 2034, according to NASA.
