On Monday night, we were all told to look up from our phones and marvel at the moon, which was apparently 14% bigger and 30% brighter than usual. But of course Londoners could not take this seriously and the internet went absolutely wild. Some of us were in a strop because it was cloudy (what did you expect?) but others took the supposed once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get creative…
1. Because sarcasm is the greatest form of wit…

3. Honestly, who could ever argue that we’re not absolutely hilarious?

4. This is the most awkward looking moon you’ll ever see…
5. If you think about it, life really is unfair.
Oh sure if the moon comes closer, you call it SuperMoon
I come closer, you call the police #doublestandards #stopmoonism— Ashwin Sreekumar (@ashwinskn) November 15, 2016

7. So childish, but so brilliant.

8. And lastly, this beautiful rhyme…
Super moon
Super moon
Does whatever a super moon can
Is in the sky
Is very round
Is basically
The moon
But bigger
