Henrique Silva wrote from Portugal: “The first super-moon rising drives everybody attention from the brand new Lisbon’s MAAT – Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology – designed by the architect Amanda Levete from London. Over the past week there was great excitement with the new building, but tonight the moon was the real star!”

Bottom line: Photos of the October 2016 full moon. It was the Northern Hemisphere’s Hunter’s Moon and a supermoon.
