LAST night's lunar activity certainly captured the attention of professional and novice photographers across Worcestershire.

Readers have been sharing their images of the rare celestial event which saw a supermoon - where it reaches its closes point to Earth - and also an eclipse.

It is the first such alignment sine 1982 and the last until 2033.

There have been only five supermoon eclipses since 1900.

The moon's surface appeared a deep red colour and was at the centre of the Earth's shadow at around 3.11am.

Here is a selection of your photographs:

Christopher Baddiley said: "It was at its closest to the earth in its orbit at the time so larger in angular diameter than typical, a Supermoon. Fairly rare for it to be an eclipse at the same time.

"Even rarer, it was completely clear all through."

And finally...same moon but taken from a different 'angle'. Former Worcester resident Tim Hill took his picture at 10.45pm Atlantic time outside Halifax, Nova Scotia.

He said "Didn't want to stay out too long as there was a bear mooching around the last couple of days."
