See amazing photos of the last supermoon of 2021 rising over SLO County

The full moon that soared over San Luis Obispo County on Thursday night sure was super.

That radiant moon was what’s called a supermoon, when the full moon appears larger and brighter in the sky because it’s at the closest point on its orbit to Earth.

It was the last time that Central Coast residents will see a supermoon this year, so, hopefully, you were lucky enough to catch a glimpse of it in the night sky.

The full moon in June is typically also called a strawberry moon, named after the start of the berries’ ripening season.

Locals shared their photos of the dazzling nighttime display:
