On Sunday, the Bay Area was treated to a "supermoon," which occurs when the moon's close distance to Earth makes it appear brighter and larger than usual. The last supermoon was in November 2016, and it was the closest the moon will get to Earth until 2034.
Even though this month's supermoon wasn't as big and bright as last year's, it's still unique as our first and only supermoon of the year.
Given the popularity of the lunar delight, we asked our viewers and listeners to send us their best photos from the Dec. 3 supermoon, and got these snaps from the Bay Area ... and beyond.
