The final full Moon of spring, known as the Strawberry Moon, has been captured across the East Midlands.

The National Space Centre in Leicester said the full Moon - 2022's biggest and brightest - is known as the "Strawberry Moon" as it coincides with the harvesting season of the fruit in North America..

A super Moon will appear up to 30% brighter than a "micro Moon" because more of the light the Moon reflects reaches the Earth, a space centre spokesman said.
