Skywatchers across the north-east of Scotland were treated to a rare celestial supermoon last night.
A spectacular glow transformed the horizon as an enormous ‘Pink Moon’ rose into the sky.
The phenomenon occurs when the moon is in the closest part of its orbit to Earth, meaning it appears larger in the sky.
Despite not actually being pink, it gets the name from the pink wildflower, phlox subulata or more commonly known as moss phlox, which blooms in eastern North America in the early springtime.
Last night’s moon will be the biggest of 2020 and the next supermoon will be visible on May 7 known as a flower moon.
