Blue supermoon pictured in skies above Yorkshire and Lincolnshire

The blue supermoon rises over Leeds

Sky gazers in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire have been treated to a blue supermoon, which appeared for the first time since 2009.

A blue Moon has nothing to do with colour but comes when there are 13 full Moons instead of the usual 12 in a year and will not be seen again until 2037.

A supermoon happens when the Moon is at its closest point to the Earth at the same time as a full Moon.

Here's some images of the rare sight above Yorkshire and Lincolnshire.
