LAST NIGHT BROUGHT sky-watchers a ‘super moon’ – the brightest and biggest full moon of the year.
The phenomenon happens when the Moon’s orbit brings it closer to Earth than usual, making it shine brighter in the night sky.
And many of you were out snapping pictures of the moon over Ireland, as photographers did the same around the world.
So here’s how the super moon looked last night, from Ireland to India. Thanks for all your photos!

The most impressive image has to be Temple of Poseidon, south east of Athens, Greece (No. 12)
I watch the moon for ages last night and it was just amazing. Clouds covered it over for a while but came out again. Reminded me of a harvest moon in August.
thanks for including my image as well, what a sight outside my hall door in my dunnes woolly dressing gown and slippers! i enjoyed it very much indeed, i got some looks! ah but fun…freezing but fun…really loved the image over the Temple of Poseidon, it was fantastic..
Hi, thanks for including my photo (no. 1). Just wanted to point out it was taken in Tenerife not Ireland. The palm trees might give it away if you look closely ;) Sheila
