The supermoon phenomenon was awaited with bated breath by avid moon watchers, astronomy enthusiasts and astrologers who had prophesied calamities on the occasion. The NASA had reassured people that the event, which is a coincidence of a full moon on lunar perigee, will not cause any catastrophes.

The celestial event has passed without causing anything untoward, but left in its trail spectacular visuals of the 'largest' moon in almost 20 years.

If you are someone who missed watching the Supermoon on Saturday, do not despair. According to some astronomers, the moon will be only 1 percent smaller on Sunday night.

Here are some visuals of the Supermoon from various pats of the world.
