The one and only supermoon appearance of 2017 occurs on 3 December, and we’d like to see your pictures as well as read stories about how you captured them.

The phenomenon, which happens when a full moon coincides with the moon being at its closest to earth during orbit, means it could appear roughly 30% larger and brighter than the smallest full moon.

This can result in some spectacular images, so for inspiration – or if it’s cloudy where you are – click here to see pictures readers shared during the last supermoon, back in 2016.
