A supermoon lit up skies around the world, coinciding with a rare partial lunar eclipse.
The moon could be seen looking brighter and larger on the night of September 17, the BBC reported.
Supermoons occur when the moon is at its closest point to Earth in its orbit.
A rare partial lunar eclipse - when Earth's shadow covers part of the moon - also occurred with 4% of the lunar disk covered by darkness.
On the night between September 17 and 18, a partial lunar eclipse could be seen around the world. Some of the clearest sightings were in Britain and the United States.
In the United Kingdom, it occurred between 1:40 and 5:47 am, peaking at 3:44 am.
People in the United States could observe the eclipse between 8:41 p.m. and 12:47 a.m. - or 10:44 p.m. at its maximum.
The eclipse was also visible in Latin America, Europe and Africa, as well as small parts of Asia and the Middle East.
This month's full moon - known as the Harvest Moon - is the second of four "supermoons" this year.
The next partial lunar eclipse will be in August 2026. It will be special because about 95% of the Moon will be in shadow. | BGNES
