The Supermoon has been captured on camera in skies above a North Sea rig.
The stunning image was one of many shared by people around the world after capturing the rare celestial event on film.
It was taken by Jason Hamilton who was onboard the North Star Shipping’s vessel, the Grampian Endurance, and shows the Supermoon lunar eclipse over the Britannia Platform.
The event occurs when the Moon is in the closest part of its orbit to Earth, meaning it appears larger in the sky.
The eclipse – which made the Moon appear red – was visible in North America, South America, West Africa and Western Europe.
The phenomenon was last observed in 1982 and won’t come again until 2033.
