In this photo print, taken by Robyn Beck of Agence France-Presse (AFP), we are transported to the enchanting Santa Monica Pier in California. As the full or perigee moon, also known as a "supermoon" begins its descent over the Pacific Ocean, a group of birds finds solace on the roller coaster track. The scene is nothing short of magical – with the moon casting a soft glow upon the pier and illuminating every detail in its path. The supermoon's presence adds an extra touch of brilliance to an already breathtaking sight. This particular supermoon holds special significance as it was not only the largest but also closest full moon of that year. NASA confirms that it appeared 14 percent closer and 30 percent brighter than other full moons throughout that period.
