The Supermoon dazzled the world last night TheJournal.ie [Video]

LAST NIGHT’S FULL moon dazzled onlookers around the world.

A ‘supermoon’, as it’s become known, occurs when the moon is closest to earth on its orbit and there’s also a full moon in the sky.

The phenomenon makes the moon appear larger and brighter and photographers across Ireland and the world were out capturing it in the September sky.

A spate of astronomical phenomenons have graced Ireland in recent months, with more set to arrive. 

Poolbeg Towers, Dublin

Captured on a calm night, the reflection in the water paints a picture of tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle of the city. Truly, Dublin never ceases to amaze. 🏙️💫#Dublin #Moonrise #PoolbegStacks #WicklowMountains #NightPhotography #Cityscape #Ireland #NatureMeetsCity pic.twitter.com/LL0AS0KXLo
