Lunar eclipse and supermoon illuminate Wales’ skies

Stargazers across Wales were treated to a rare supermoon and partial lunar eclipse combo on Tuesday night.

Supermoons, when the Moon is as its biggest and brightest, happen when it is at its closest point to Earth in its orbit.

The partial eclipse, where about 4% the Moon was covered by the earth’s shadow, was also visible, peaking at about 03:44 BST.

It was a phenomenon that could be seen all around the world and, due untypically clear skies, in all corners of Wales.
