Keen photographers from across East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire have captured photos of Thursday's Hunter's supermoon.
Supermoons happen when the Moon is closest to the Earth, appearing bigger and brighter than normal - up to 15% brighter and 30% bigger than regular full Moons.
October's full Moon is called the Hunter's Moon, as it occurs at the time of year when hunters would traditionally have been most active - planning for the winter months ahead and hunting animals for food.
The next supermoon of the year will be on 15 November, and is called the Beaver Moon, and will be the last supermoon of the year.
There are four supermoons across the year in 2024 - in August, September, October and November.
