Rare Sturgeon Moon Lights Up UK Skies

People across the United Kingdom and around the world have been treated to the fourth and final supermoon of 2022, known as the Sturgeon Moon. The lunar event reached its closest point to Earth at 02:36 BST on Friday, appearing larger and brighter than usual.

Photographers captured stunning images of the Sturgeon Moon alongside iconic UK landmarks and scenic landscapes. From Stonehenge to the London Eye, the supermoon provided a spectacular backdrop for night-time photography.

The Sturgeon Moon, named after the large fish that were once abundant in North American lakes during August, marked the end of a series of supermoons this year. While not all observers had clear skies, many were able to enjoy the celestial display.
