An unusually large moon was hanging over Oslo’s rooftops on Saturday night, marking the biggest full moon since 1983 and spurring scores of people to head for a cold night out to get an undisturbed view of the unusual lunar phenomenon. The so-called “Super Moon” appeared bigger than usual because it was just 577 kilometers from the point in its orbit which is closest to Earth. According to astronomers, a full moon this size will not be seen again until November 2016. PHOTO: Views and News
