The image was taken by professional photographer John Hayward who captured the moon as it hung over St Eata's Church in Atcham.
Not only was Tuesday night's moon a supermoon, which occurs four times a year when the orbit of the moon is at closest point to Earth, but also being the first full moon of autumn was a harvest moon.
The harvest supermoon was made even more rarer as there was also a partial eclipse, although that wasn't visible until 1:40am on Wednesday morning when a small shadow created by the Earth appeared in the top right corner of the moon.
