Pictures of the breathtaking super full moon

The biggest full moon of 2020 (a super full moon) was visible at its largest and brightest this morning, 8 April at 4.35am in South Africa, and will again be especially big and beautiful tonight.

From last night, 7 April, however, the moon was already magnificent and pictures from around the country poured onto social media.

Take a look at a few stunning pictures of Lady Luna at her most dazzling:

birthday almost full moon (taken on monday evening as the moon was rising ~ the 1st three photos) and then this morning’s actual super full moon, aka the pink moon, setting a short while ago (the last three photos). It always seems to be cloudy here when there’s a full moon, almost didn’t have any opportunity to see it in all its glory, but had a very brief moment to get a clear shot ~ seven oaks, kzn midlands, south africa 🇿🇦

Nothing can stop me marvelling at the moon🌛 Inspired by social media to step outside last night and captured this in little old Randburg. Here’s to another spin around space (and hopefully a better month ahead for everyone🤞) pic.twitter.com/XbYvJCW3w8
