Watch as the first full Moon of the year illuminated the sky, at around 5pm on Saturday 3 January.

When can I see the next Supermoon?

The next chance to see the Moon so large and bright in the sky won't be until November, although there is the extra treat of two full Moons in May making 2026 a rare year with 13 instead of 12 full Moons.
