Headline check

The one thing this headline claims is in the report.

Figures, names and quoted words in the headline, looked for in the report itself — not in the summary above. One claim in this headline could be checked, so this is a narrow pass and not a thorough one. How this is checked

September's full Moon glowed across the UK sky on Saturday and many people seemed to have conditions for viewing it.

It's also known as the Harvest Moon because of its association with the time of year people traditionally gather crops.

The Moon reached its fullest point at 17:49 BST on Saturday but it was later, when the sky got darker, that it made its biggest impact.

BBC Weather Watchers have been submitting the photos they took and here are a few of our favourites of those submitted so far.

You are reading our version, not theirs. This is BBC News (Science and Environment)'s report with its verdicts and loaded words taken out. Plain description stays, and so do adjectives that carry a fact, such as "former" or "federal". The reporting, the facts and the quotations are theirs — quotations are never edited — and the indicators beside it measure this version. Hover or tap Adjectives to see every one left in the text.
