The full moon is the lunar phase in which the moon appears completed illuminated when viewed from the Earth. The official International Space Station shared a couple of pictures of the full moon as viewed from outer space Sunday and the photos are now being widely shared on the internet.
“The full Moon occurs once a month and is a spectacular sight viewed from 250 miles above Earth”, the orbiting laboratory wrote in its post.

The full moon is the lunar phase in which the moon appears completed illuminated when viewed from the Earth. The phenomenon occurs roughly once every month when Earth is located between the Sun and the Moon.
