The largest supermoon of this year was captured on video by Kazakh photographer Dmitry Dotsenko over the tallest building in Kazakhstan, as reported by Tengri Life.
Last night, residents of Earth witnessed another supermoon eclipse, where part of the Moon fell into the Earth's shadow. However, the supermoon, which appears 14 percent larger during this period, rose on September 17.

"Here are some shots of the October supermoon I managed to capture last night. It seems I've found a spot from where I can reach the moon. This is Abu Dhabi Plaza in Astana – the tallest building in Kazakhstan – 311 meters and 75 floors high. Did you see this supermoon?" - Dotsenko wrote on his Instagram.
A supermoon occurs when the Moon is closest to Earth, at a distance of about 363,711 kilometers (typically this distance is around 384,472 kilometers). As a result, the Moon appears significantly larger and brighter.
The Moon reaches this point, known as "perigee," every 27 days, but supermoons happen only three to four times a year.
A few days ago, Dotsenko was able to capture unique footage of the northern lights in Almaty.
