Stargazers are in for a treat this evening as the pink supermoon is set to light up the sky across Greater Manchester.
The Moon will be at its biggest and brightest, although not quite pink as the name suggests.
It's the first of two supermoons this year, with the term meaning a full moon that occurs when the Moon is within 90 per cent perigee - its closest approach to Earth, according to NASA.
The lunar spectacle began on Monday night at 11.30pm in the US, meaning Tuesday night (April 27) is the perfect time to catch sight of it in the UK.
In Manchester, the Moon is set to rise at 9.15pm in a south-east direction, with the level of illumination recorded as 99.9 per cent.
The Met Office weather forecast says it will be cloudy on Tuesday night, but due to its brightness and size, it should still be clear enough for you to enjoy the display overhead.
If you miss it, then don't worry as you can expect to see the pink supermoon again on Wednesday.
The Moon will set at around 6.30am before rising again at 10.45pm heading south-east.
Illumination is recorded at 98.8 per cent, with it not expecting to set again until the early hours of Thursday at 6.50am.
Have your cameras at the ready as supermoons don't come around often, occurring just three or four times a year, but they are thankfully easier to spot than almost any other astronomical phenomenon.
Although the name suggests it will have a pink hue, it will actually look more golden.
The term was chosen by early Native Americans because it marked the appearance of pink flowers, according to NASA.
This moon may also be referred to as the sprouting grass moon, the egg moon or the fish moon.
After next week, there will be another set to appear on May 26, called Flower Moon.
