In the words of one of our readers, James Ewins: "If you only ever do something once in a blue moon, then last night was your chance..." as people across the world saw a Super Blue Moon, which won't appear again until the year 2037.

The last Super Blue Moon was seen in 2009, and we are not expected to see another one until 2037, making last night's viewing a very rare opportunity.

The Super Moon is said to have appeared brighter and larger than normal last night.

Its name has nothing to do with its colour, but instead is called a Blue Moon because it doesn't fit within the usual scheme of named moons.

Once a month a full moon will normally happen.

This means that there is usually 12 full moons in a year, however the phases of the moon take 29.5 days to finish, taking it up to 354 days to complete it's 12 cycles, which does not fit within a calendar year that usually has 365 days.

Due to this, it is likely that we see a 13th full moon every two and a half years, which is likely where the phrase 'once in a blue moon' comes from.

Last night we saw a combination of a super moon and a blue moon, which is extremely rare and those who missed it, will have to wait until 2037 to see another one.

We asked people from Brecon & Radnorshire to send in their fantastic pictures from last night's Super Blue moon, which can be seen in our video.
