A plane flies in front of a supermoon above Westminster in central London en route to Heathrow airport on August 10, 2014. The full moon is positioned closest to the earth on its orbit in over 20 years. It is 50,000 kilometers closer than normal and 14% bigger and 30% brighter than usual. The scientific name for a ‘supermoon’ is a perigee moon, meaning “closest point to the earth.” Credit: AP Image/Gill Allen
