The full moon was more super than it's been since 1948 on November 13, making Earth's satellite appear so big in the sky it almost looked fake.
People took incredible pictures from all over the world of the so-called supermoon. This one was a super duper supermoon, if you will, since the moon was on the closest point in its orbit of Earth at the same time it was full.
The term "supermoon" is relatively new, but Native Americans have had special names for full moons for centuries. While there are 562 federally recognized Indian tribes and communities across the US, many marked their calendars by the full moons, giving each one its own name and corresponding action.
Here are a roundup of 28 names we found for full moons, starting with the one that was the largest on November 13: the supermoon.

DON'T MISS: Why it was the biggest supermoon since 1948
Supermoon
If you missed the supermoon on Sunday night, you can still catch it on Monday when the moon rises. It won't be quite as big (because it technically won't be full anymore), but it'll still be closer than usual.
Supermoons — technically called "perigee-syzygy of the Earth-Moon-Sun system," can cause stronger ocean tides and weather events.
The moon's elliptical orbit can swing it between 225,623 miles and 252,088 miles from Earth. That 30,000-mile difference can make the supermoon look like it's 14% bigger and 30% brighter than the full moon does when it's furthest away.
This particular supermoon was extra special because it was full at the same time it was the very closest. That won't happen again until 2034.
This year's: November 14, 2016 (the closest supermoon since 1948), and December 13, 2016 (which won't be quite as big as November's)
November: Beaver Moon, Frost Moon
While this November's full moon was also super, Native Americans called this month's the beaver moon or frost moon because it's typically when frost blankets the ground and the beavers are preparing for winter. It was the best time to set the traps to catch them for food.

December: Cold Moon, Long Night's Moon
December has the longest nights of the year, and it's cold. These ones are pretty straightforward.
