CORFU. Whoever took a look at the night sky would undoubtedly have felt their breath taken away.
You cannot help but be mesmerised by the May supermoon. It was preceded by three other supermoons this year and is the fourth and last of 2020.
Due to its brightness, the full moon, which is less than 360,000km from the centre of the Earth, is called a 'supermoon' - a non-scientific term coined by American astrologer Richard Nolle in 1979.
When the supermoon is still close to the horizon it looks even bigger to observers. Alexandros Melidis captured the magnificent sight of the moon above Anemomylos.
