STARGAZERS have been treated to the second supermoon of the month, and members of the Camera Club embraced the opportunity.
Appearing last night and tonight, the phenomenon occurs when a full moon is near its closest point to Earth, making it seem bigger and brighter than a usual full moon.
The moon is located 222,000 miles from Earth, as opposed to 252,000 miles when it is at its furthest point from the planet.
It is the first time two full supermoons will occur in the same month since 2018, and it won’t happen again until 2037.
There will also be a treat for stargazers next month when Neptune is at its most visible.
It will be brighter than any other time of the year and will be visible all night long on September 19.
Due to its extreme distance from Earth, it will only appear as a tiny blue dot in all but the most powerful telescopes.
