A Central Hawke's Bay photographer was in the right place at the right time to capture a stunning photo of a backflip in the moon, and it was no accident.
Lachie Kirk captured the image at precisely 6.01pm on April 6 on his family farm, 10 minutes from Waipukurau.
The
moon was very close to Earth, and would be closest tonight, making it the biggest and brightest of the year.
Those living in the North Island had the best chance of seeing it in all its glory.
"I knew the moon was going to be exactly in the right place for a photo because of an app I have called Photopills, which tells me precisely where the moon is going to be," Kirk said.
