Harvest supermoon spotted above Eastbourne and Lancing

The supermoon was due across the sky last night and marked the latest in a run of supermoons that now will not be seen for over a decade.

Photographers from The Argus’s Camera Club Facebook page shared their snaps from across the county including above nature reserves and along the coast.

Similarly, Lee Prince also caught the supermoon in the Sussex sky, this time over Eastbourne Pier.

The moon can be seen peeking out from behind the pier as it continued to rise yesterday evening.

Photographer Sue Barnett also captured the size of the supermoon as it rose across the night sky to mark the end of September.

Supermoons are seen in the sky when the moon looks much bigger than normal and can take place around three or four times a year.

Sussex was also treated to a super blue moon earlier in the year, where two supermoons are spotted in the sky in the same month.
