The final supermoon of 2022 has been captured on camera by talented Echo Camera Club Dorset members.
The stunning moon peaked in the night sky in the early hours of Friday morning.
The moon is also known as the 'sturgeon moon'.
Supermoons tend to look larger and brighter due to how close this full moon is to the Earth.
Natural History Museum’s Sara Russell, speaking to INews, stated a supermoon happens when the moon at its full is closest to the Earth.
She said: “During a supermoon, the moon is at a stage where it is closest to Earth.
“This will typically last for two to five full moons, so that’s why there are multiple supermoons in a row. After that, the moon goes into the more distant part of its orbit.”
Images captured by members of our Camera Club include the moon over Swanage, Mudeford sandbank and Weymouth.
