STARGAZERS in the Bradford district captured a rare sight in the skies last night – a blue moon.
A blue moon is not named after the colour and instead refers to the second full moon in one calendar month.
Most months only have one full moon, so a second is quite a rare event, occurring approximately once every two or three years.
Appearing larger than usual, it was expected to rise at around 8pm (BST) on Thursday (August 31) to then set at around 6am (BST) the following day, but it shone on Wednesday (August 30) night.
Telegraph & Argus readers captured images of the rare super blue moon from where they were and posted them on social media.
