The first of two supermoons of 2021 arose in a Super Pink Full Moon Monday night.

Monday’s cloudy and overcast skies partially cleared before dusk, making the supermoon visible above Las Vegas.

The term “supermoon” refers to either a new or full moon that occurs when the moon is within 90 percent of perigee, its closest approach to Earth, according to NASA.

The moon will appear full for about three days.
