The full moon in August, called a Sturgeon Blue moon, got its name as anglers believed it helped them catch bigger freshwater fish.
It has also been called the grain, green corn and barley moon - inspired by crops that can be harvested in the summer month.
It was also seen rising above a cruise ship off Weymouth in Dorset.
