The celestial body was as close to Earth as it had been for 70 years providing amateur astronomers a rare opportunity to take detailed photographs.
Banbury Guardian readers took on the challenge to capture the ‘Supermoon’ with varying degrees of success.

E. Collins photography managed to capture images of incredible clarity from a vantage point in Hardwick in Banbury while Sam Smith also found a break in the clouds to document the moons close orbit.
While certain areas of the country were blessed with relatively clear skies, Oxfordshire was mostly cloudy.
This minor inconvenience, however, didn’t stop BG reader Mandy Sammons from attempting to document history, resulting in less than spectacular results but winning our award for humorous post of the day.
The moon will return as a ‘Supermoon’ in 2034.
