The supermoon is seen behind a bronze statue called "Galloping Horse Treading on a Flying Swallow", from East Han Dynasty, in Huaying city, Sichuan province, August 10, 2014. The astronomical event occurs when the moon is closest to the Earth in its orbit, making it appear much larger and brighter than usual. [Photo/IC]
