'Moonbow' and Hunter's Moon inspire England photographers
- Published
Anna said she was "amazed" to see the moonbow appear at about 07:20 BST on Monday
Sky watchers across England were out taking pictures as a rare lunar rainbow - or moonbow - lit up skies across the country.
Lunar rainbows are formed when moonlight, rather than direct sunlight, is refracted by moisture in the atmosphere.
The lunar event was particularly well-captured by photographers in Yorkshire on Monday, including Anna Weinel who says she was "amazed" to photograph the sight at about 07:20 BST on Monday.
On Sunday, a Hunter's Moon - the first full moon after the Harvest Moon (the full moon closest to the autumnal equinox) - lit up skies over the UK.
Here is a selection of your moon pictures sent to us in the last few days.
