SKYGAZERS took several stunning photos of the “pink” supermoon in April in Dorset and New Forest.
Photographers shared their photos from the show that lit up the sky last night.
The name of the pink supermoon is a reference to the North Indians to an early flowering wild flower that began appearing in the United States and Canada in early spring.

The moon was due to reach its peak around 7:55 p.m. on Saturday.
However, if you missed it, don’t worry, as the moon will look full for a few more nights.

The Lyrids derive their name from the constellation Lyra the Harp, from which the shooting stars seem to originate.
These meteors are debris falling from Comet Thatcher, which is expected to return to the inner solar system in 2276, after an orbital period of 415 years.
