September 17 was a key Luna event for stargazers with two major lunar anomalies happening in one evening.

The Tuesday night saw a large Supermoon grace our skies which was later accompanied by a rare partial lunar eclipse.

The presence of the supermoon meant that the moon appeared larger and brighter, and the partial eclipse saw a total of four per cent of the moon's disc covered in darkness.

In the UK this was most visible from 1.40am until 5.27am with its peak at 03.44am.

NASA defines a supermoon as "when the moon's orbit is closest (perigee) to Earth at the same time it is full".

"The shadow grows and then recedes without ever entirely covering the Moon."
