Each time is the exact instant of full moon, computed with the same astronomy engine as the SnapCosmos Moon tool and shown in the local clock in force on that date, so the switch between daylight and standard time appears where it happens.

The Moon from Toronto: what is local

Lakeshore views toward the rising Moon

Times are computed for the Toronto city reference, 43.70° N, 79.42° W, with a flat horizon; buildings and trees delay what you actually see. The Moon rises somewhere between northeast and southeast depending on the date (the direction is shown above). The City of Toronto lists eleven parks along 15 km of the Scarborough Bluffs with views over Lake Ontario; a shoreline spot with an open view toward that day's moonrise direction sees the Moon closest to the calculated time.

Eastern time changes twice a year

Toronto observes Eastern Daylight Time in summer and Eastern Standard Time in winter. Around the change weekends, moonrise and the full-moon time move by an hour on the clock; this page and the full-moon calendar always use the time in force on each date.
