Stargazers were treated to a spectacular full moon last night after the hottest day of the year so far.
July's full moon is nicknamed the ‘Full Buck Moon’ and clear skies meant conditions were perfect for photographers to capture it on camera.
Moonrise and sunset occured just within just 45 minutes of eachother, meaning some may have been able to both events in one image.
According to the Farmer’s Almanac, the name comes from a time when Native Americans noticed that bucks would begin to grow new antlers during July.
They would give the full moons different names to keep track of the seasons.
July’s full moon is also referred to as Thunder Moon, as this is when the most frequent thunderstorms take place, or the Hay Moon.
Next month’s full moon will occur on August 18 and is known as the Full Sturgeon Moon.
Last month's full moon, known as the Strawberry Moon, coincided with the summer solstice for the first time in 50 years.
