Supermoon pictured lighting up West Midlands skies

People from across the West Midlands have been sharing their pictures after a supermoon brightened up the region's skies.

Supermoons happen when the Moon is at its closest point to Earth in its orbit, making it appear bigger and brighter.

People pointed their cameras at the sky on Tuesday and Wednesday night.

BBC Weather Watchers from Birmingham and the Black Country, Warwickshire, Staffordshire, Shropshire, Worcestershire and Herefordshire shared their pictures with us.
