For people around the world, last night was a rare chance to see the supermoon as it came closer to earth than it has in decades.
On Monday, November 14, the moon looked 14% bigger and 30% brighter than an average full moon.
This was first time people have seen the supermoon since January 1948 and the next will not be visible until November 25, 2034.
While many sky gazers had their views hampered by thick cloud, some lucky photographers in Lincolnshire managed to get some great pictures of the celestial event.

What do a festive turkey dinner, Christmas pudding and yule log have in common? None were picked by the people of Lincoln when we asked for their favourite festive food and drink!
There were festive nods to mince pies, cheese boards, and Brussels sprouts, as well as some rather different choices.
A 13-year-old from Lincoln has been ranked as the number one go-kart racer on the planet, as his quest to forge a path into the world of elite motorsport moves to the next level.
Lewis Wherrell, 13, received an award from motorsport’s primary governing body, the FIA, in Nice, France as he fought off competition from more than 1,400 racers and topped the sport’s ranking system for karting in 2023.
