The fall season is known for its warm and orangey hues, and a rare sunset is beaming down on Toronto this weekend that will drape the city in a warm glow.
"Torontohenge" is a phenomenon that only happens four times a year, twice for sunrise and twice for sunsets, according to The Weather Network. It's called "Torontohenge" because it occurs when the sun aligns perfectly with the city's east-to-west streets as it's rising or setting.
According to a Sun and Shadow Modelling blog for Toronto, this golden-hued effect will hit the city on October 25 at 6:18 p.m.
Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson originally coined the word "Manhattanhenge" for when this same phenomenon happened in New York City. It's inspired by the summer solstice sunrises and sunsets that occur at Stonehenge in England. But instead of historical stones, you'll get to see the sun shimmering between buildings in the 6ix.

If you can't get enough sunsets, it will be the ultimate time to snap some pics no matter what camera you have. This golden hour for photographs will still be around for a week after, too, in case you miss the actual date.
