Millions of people gazed up at a moonlit sky last night to witness an incredible astronomical phenomenon.
With cameras at the ready, sky watchers around the world were treated to the sight of a perigree moon, more commonly known as a supermoon.
One photographer in London was able to capture not only the stunning lunar surface, but also a mysterious-looking dark object as it floated by.
Lee Thompson, photographer for group travel company The Flash Pack, took these pictures of the supermoon around 11.30pm BST last night.
‘I captured the image from my back garden in Brixton using an 800ml Canon lens,’ Mr Thompson told MailOnline.
‘At first I thought it was an aircraft as it was moving from right to left at the same sort of speed you’d expect from a plane.'
Mr Thompson added that he believes it may be some sort of satellite shown up by an unusually bright moon.
