STARGAZERS got a real treat on Wednesday night when a clear sky enabled them to see the Super Pink Moon.

The stunning supermoon is set to be the biggest and best of 2020 to fill the night sky.

Photographer Trevor Porter said: "I captured this shot from my bedroom window not wishing to go against the government guidance of not travelling from home."

It followed Tuesday's disappointment for many when it was partially obscured by clouds.

The Super Pink Moon is the largest that will appear all year, as its elliptical orbit brings it to its closest point to Earth this week, a point known as its perigee.

A full moon occurs when the moon is located on the opposite side of the Earth as the Sun, meaning its face is fully illuminated.

The Super Pink Moon name was chosen by early Native American tribes because it marked the appearance of pink flowers.

Other names for this full moon are the Sprouting Grass Moon, Fish Moon, Hare Moon, Egg Moon and Paschal Moon.
