SKYGAZERS have captured some striking pictures of April’s ‘pink’ super moon across Dorset and the New Forest.
Photographers have shared their photos of the spectacle which lit up the skies last night.
The pink supermoon name is a northern Native American reference to an early-blooming wildflower, which starts to pop up in the US and Canada at the beginning of spring.

The moon was set to reach it's peak around 7.55pm on Saturday.
However, if you missed it, don't worry as the moon will appear full for a few more nights.
The Lyrids meteor shower could also be spied this week.
Experts say the predicted peak will be on April 22 in the northern hemisphere.
The Lyrids takes its name from the constellation of Lyra the Harp, where the shooting stars appear to originate from.
These meteors are pieces of debris falling from the Thatcher Comet, which is expected to return to the inner solar system in 2276, after an orbital period of 415 years.
These images were taken by members of the Daily Echo’s Camera Club group on Facebook.
