Unless you spent yesterday with your head in your hands, weeping over what a tragic Monday yesterday was – you will have heard that a supermoon was going to be visible over Ireland last night.
The supermoon was basically a rare lunar experience that only happened every few decades, and last night’s one almost felt like you could reach out and grab it.
Check out the incredible shots of those who were first on the scene.
