THE second super moon of the year could be seen on Wednesday evening (May 26) in some parts of Wales.
A super moon is caused by a full moon coinciding with the satellite being at its closest point to the Earth during its orbit.
However Wednesday’s ‘Super flower blood moon’ coincided with both the full moon being at its closest point to orbit coupled with a lunar eclipse which causes the moon to turn red as it drifts into our planet’s shadow.
Although visible throughout the whole world, NASA said the best place to see the full effect of the phenomenon was Hawaii.
Some observers were left disappointed after poor visibility diminished their hopes of catching a glimpse of the phenomenon.
However many Welsh citizens took to social media to post their photos of the bigger, brighter, super moon.
