PHOTOGRAPHERS had their eyes to the skies last night for the largest and brightest super moon of 2019.

February's full moon is known as the super snow moon, based on the typical cold, snowy weather in North America. 

The spectacle occurs when the Moon is at its lunar perigee, its shortest distance from the Earth, making it appear 14% bigger and 30% brighter than at its lunar apogee, its furthest point.

The last supermoon took place on January 21, and the last for 2019 will happen on March 21.

Here is a selection of images captured by the Daily Echo's Camera Club members.
