The Manc - Incredible images of Wolf Moon captured by people across the UK"

Stargazers across the UK were treated to the first full moon of 2020 last night, also known as the 'wolf moon', which coincided with the decade's first lunar eclipse. It was special.

The celestial event, which was witnessed by millions, began at around 5pm and saw the moon move into the Earth's outer shadow, causing it to look darker than normal.

But when it happened, those waiting to snap it really delivered, with some incredible photographs making it online shortly after.

All four lunar eclipses in 2020 will penumbral, with the others happening in June, July and November, and we imagine photographers will be stood by to try and outdo themselves.
