The Supermoon dazzled the world last night

Irish stargazers got a particularly clear view of the phenomenon.

LAST NIGHT’S FULL moon dazzled onlookers around the world.

A ‘supermoon’, as it’s become known, occurs when the moon is closest to earth on its orbit and there’s also a full moon in the sky.

The phenomenon makes the moon appear larger and brighter and photographers across Ireland and the world were out capturing it in the September sky.

A spate of astronomical phenomenons have graced Ireland in recent months, with more set to arrive.
