This was the view from my garden shortly before midnight, apparently it appeared at it's largest around half past four this morning, but I was tucked up in bed then!

supermoon
Last night we enjoyed another supermoon or perigee moon, a supermoon is when a full moon coincides with the moons closest approach to Earth following it's elliptical orbit or perigee.

Super Moon
Tonight's super moon,
This is the closest the moon has been to earth in 18 yrs, 356,577 kms (226425 miles) away and is looking spectacular.
This was the view of it from our garden as it rose into the night sky.
Hope you enjoyed your views as much!
