December 2017 supermoon

The supermoon of December 2017 illuminated the UK skies last night as it moved nearer to Earth, appearing 14% bigger and 30% brighter than usual.

The December full moon, traditionally known as the Cold Moon, thankfully peeped out of the clouds long enough to allow a few shots to be taken.

Above: for comparison, this was the moon a few days before it became full in clearer skies.
