PORTLAND, Ore. — The biggest supermoon of the year lit up the sky on Tuesday night. Check out all the photos we received in the gallery below.

According to NASA, the Moon will be at its closest point to Earth in its orbit, making it appear bigger and brighter in the sky.

The April full moon is also known as the "Pink," Grass or Egg Moon.

While it's called the "Pink Moon," don't expect to see any hues of pink popping up. The name comes from pink wildflowers called creeping phlox that bloom in early spring, often around the time of April's full moon, according to the Old Farmer's Almanac.
