Sky Gazers around New Zealand were able to glimpse a ‘super moon’ last night. Last night was a full moon and was the closest and the largest of 2014. The moon won’t pass as close to the earth again until September 2015.  

For those that could see last night’s full moon its large size was due to the  moon falling close to the perigee, (the moon's closest point to the earth.) The Met service said that the east of the island enjoyed the best viewing conditions due to a lack of clouds.
