Tonight, the city will be illuminated by the supermoon. On the evening of Tuesday, August 1, expect to witness a moon that seems bigger and brighter than past full moons. When a Full Moon coincides with the Moon's closest approach to Earth in its elliptical orbit, this is known as a supermoon.
It will be the first Full Moon of the month, one of two this month. When two Full Moons occur in the same month, the second is referred to as a Blue Moon.
