Sadly our favourite sky photographer found that it was simply too rainy to capture the super moon last night.

The moon on August 1 was 222,158 miles (357,530 km) away from earth, not that most of us in Somerset could see it thanks to the rain.

So this is a photo the moon taken on the coast in Spain.

But for star and sky gazers you have another chance, on 30 August the moon will again be super - a distance of 222,043 miles (357,344km). Because it is the second full moon in the month, it is also called a blue moon – but there is a bit of an argument about why?

It may be worth making the most of it since a double super moon in a month will not happen again until 2037.
