The sky was illuminated last night by the first "Supermoon" of the year, the largest and brightest view of the Moon as it reached its closest point to the Earth, resulting in some stunning images of the phenomenon from stargazers.

The spectacle was seen all over the globe as the Moon slowly rose last night, 15 per cent larger and 30 per cent brighter than when it is at its smallest and dimmest.

Eagle-eyed stargazer Zack Jones has captured a stunning photograph of the perigee moon surrounded by clouds while it hovered above Sydney.
