STARGAZING enthusiasts have been marvelling at the emergence of a pink supermoon in the night skies over the UK.
Across the country, people have being grabbing cameras and smartphones to try and record the lunar light show on Tuesday evening.
Twitter users have posted their attempts to capture the view above them and to share their enjoyment at the “amazing” and “beautiful” sight.
Despite its name, there will not be any noticeable colour difference to the full moon, which is due to reach its peak during the early hours of Wednesday at 3.55am.
The pink supermoon name is a northern Native American reference to an early-blooming wildflower, which starts to pop up in the US and Canada at the beginning of spring.
April’s supermoon is the third of the year, following the worm moon on March 9.
The next full moon is referred to as the Flower Moon, which takes place on May 7.
