Stargazers will be hoping for some clear skies to try and spot the final supermoon of the year which should be visible in Irish skies on Friday and Saturday evening. 

The best night to see the 'Harvest Moon' will be on Friday with the Moon rising from 7.18pm, according to Astronomy Ireland. Saturday night will be "nearly as good" with the Moon rising at 7.31pm.
