Local resident Mike Robertson snapped this photo of last weekend’s super moon coming up over Stick Hill on Uncha Lake Road.

It was the biggest full moon of the year because this month’s full moon coincides with the moon’s closest approach to Earth.

The moon was 356,955 kilometers from Earth, offering skywatchers a spectacular view of an extra big, extra bright moon, known as a super moon.

The last super moon occurred during March 2011.
