A so-called snow moon has been seen in the skies over Cornwall this weekend - and it was breathtaking!

The Snow Moon, named due to the amount of snow fall we usually see fall in the month of February, is the second Full Moon of the year, with some calling it the Bear Moon, the Hunger Moon, or the Eagle Moon across the world.

Although not as stunning as the 2020 Snow Moon, which was also a supermoon, astronomy lovers were given a treat this weekend.

The Snow Moon reached its peak on Saturday 27th February and photos and videos from Cornwall, shared on social media, have gone viral.

Among them, the above photo from Kris Meaden shows the Snow Moon behind St Michael's Mount.
