In pictures: Super 'blood' Moon seen around the world
The year's biggest full moon, known as the Super Flower Moon, rose in a clear evening sky over the Sydney Opera House on Wednesday to the delight of amateur photographers positioned just across the water to capture the moment.
The moon was at the closest point to Earth in its orbit, making it appear about 7% larger and 15% brighter than normal.
The May full moon is known as the Flower Moon as it occurs when spring flowers are in bloom.
