The supermoon will look its fullest on Tuesday, but if you happen to miss it, it will still be visible on Wednesday.
Stardome astronomer Josh Aoraki said there were usually a few supermoons each year.
Here's an array of photographs RNZ readers captured of Tuesday's supermoon all across the country.
