Thursday’s clear night sky was illuminated by the brightest supermoon of the year.
October’s full moon is known as the Hunter’s Moon.
Photographers from Hampshire, Dorset, the Isle of Wight, Oxfordshire and Berkshire were on hand to capture the lunar event.
A supermoon occurs when the Moon, which follows an elliptical (oval) orbit around Earth, is at its closest point to our planet.
If this coincides with a full Moon, we see a supermoon, making the Moon appear larger.
The supermoon will still be visible in cloudless skies over the weekend.
There have already been two supermoons this year – August’s Blue Moon and September’s Harvest Moon.
