A supermoon occurs when a full or new moon makes its closest approach to the Earth and appears slightly larger and brighter than normal.
As the moon was eclipsed by the Earth's shadow on Sunday it also turned a reddish colour, an eerie wonder known as a Blood Moon.
The next total eclipse won't happen until 2018, and the next total eclipse of a supermoon won't happen until 2033.
Here are some of the best photos taken in and around the city:
