Questrade Just Went "Agentic" — What It Means For Your Trading Account

Published July 30, 2026 If you have money sitting in a Questrade account, the platform you log into is about to change more than it has in years.

Super Blue Moon: A Celestial Spectacle

 

Tonight, stargazers around the world will witness a rare celestial event: the Super Blue Moon. Here’s are some brief details about this fascinating occurrence:

What Is a Super Blue Moon?

A supermoon is an infrequent phenomenon when the Moon appears larger and brighter than usual due to its proximity to Earth. Tonight, we’re treated to an even rarer event—a super blue moon. Here’s why it’s so special:

  1. Supermoon: The Moon’s elliptical orbit brings it closer to Earth, making it appear larger in the sky.

  2. Blue Moon: A blue moon occurs when there are four full moons in a season instead of the usual three. The third full moon in such a season is designated as a blue moon.

Why “Once in a Blue Moon”?

The phrase “once in a blue moon” originates from this rare occurrence. Tonight’s moon is both super and blue, making it a unique sight for skywatchers.

Viewing Tips

  • Time: The super blue moon will rise shortly after 7 p.m. EDT and reach its peak at 9:36 p.m. EDT. Check exact times for your region using the U.S. Navy moonrise calendar.

  • Appearance: Enjoy the moon’s full brilliance through Friday morning.

Remember to step outside and marvel at this cosmic spectacle!
