Toronto to witness rare blue supermoon and it won't happen again until 2037 Toronto
. After the coming blue supermoon, it will be another 14 years before two of these oversized full moons grace the sky in the same month, next expected in 2037.
NASA describes them seasonally, referring to the third full moon in a season, an event occurring on average every two to three years. A less rare colloquial definition that has since been adopted as fact refers to blue moons as the second full moon within a month.The first of the two full supermoons will arrive on Tuesday, when the Moon will rise over the southeast horizon, appearing just a bit larger than usual.
Viewers will get an even better look on August 30, when the moon's orbit will bring it to a distance of just 357,344 kilometres.
