Incredible images of the last Supermoon of 2022 have been captured overnight. The rare lunar phenomenon occurs when there is a full moon while it is also at its closest point to the Earth in its orbit.
The effect is that the moon appears larger and brighter in the sky and on an exciting night for astronomers, shooting stars from the Perseids Meteor Shower also danced across the night sky. Stargazers were treated to amazing views as most of the UK - apart from a few unlucky parts of northern Scotland - enjoyed clear skies.
The Supermoon reached its full brightness at 2.36am. Amazing pictures were taken in Northumberland, London, the Isle of Wight and all across the southern coast of England.
