April's supermoon appears big and bright in the sky because of its closeness to Earth, passing within just 360,000km (223,694 miles) of our planet.

This month's Pink Supermoon is named after pink flowers called wild ground phlox, which bloom in early spring throughout the United States and Canada.

April's full Moon is the first of two supermoons in 2021, with the next one taking place on 26 May.

Here are photos from around the world.
