Portsmouth supermoon: Your best pictures as full moon reaches closest point to Earth

This is because it was a supermoon – a phenomenon that occurs when a new or full moon coincides with the moon’s closest, monthly point to Earth. Despite being referenced widely as a super pink moon, last night's lunar light show did not result in any noticeable change of colour. Instead, it takes its name from a pink wildflower which blooms in spring, in North America, around April time. Photographers from across the Portsmouth area, and some in wider Hampshire, captured the marvel as it happened for the first time since March 9, 2020. This one appeared bigger and brighter than that occasion.
