Stargazers around the world got a treat as the first of four supermoons of the year lit up the night sky.
A supermoon occurs when the moon's orbit is closest to Earth at the same time it is full.
Astronomy Ireland has said the supermoon is larger and 30% brighter than at other times.
July's moon is called the 'full Buck Moon', according to the Old Farmer's Almanac, as the antlers of male deers are fully growing during this period.
Names were given to moons by Native American, Colonial American, and European sources and were derived from events in nature.
Astronomy Ireland has said that those who missed the supermoon last night will have another opportunity to see it rising at around 11:20pm tonight.
In Greece, spectators took advantage of the warm summer night last night and came to view the spectacle at the 5th century BC temple of Poseidon on Cape Sounio, perched on a clifftop over the sea and built to honour the ancient mythological god, some 70km from the capital, Athens.
