Supermoon Rises Over Statue Of Liberty, And It'll Be Back Soon
A Hoboken man took these photos of Wednesday night's "strawberry moon" lighting the way to liberty. You can catch it again in August.

But if you missed the chance to see it, you may be able to catch it again on Aug. 11, weather permitting, according to Patch and the Old Farmer's Almanac.
