Was there a blue moon in 1901?
Yes there was a blue moon in 1901. July had two full moons with the second full moon being considered a blue moon.
There are two definitions of blue moons. The most common, and the one you likely know is when two full moons occur in the same month. The second full moon is typically called a blue moon.
The second definition of a blue moon relates having an extra full moon during a season. When a season has four full moons, the third full moon of the season is also called a blue moon, or a seasonal blue moon to help distinguish between the other definition.
Each season in 1901 had 3 full moons so there was not also a seasonal blue moon that year.
Full Supermoons in 1901
In 1901, there were two full supermoons during the October and November Full Moons. Depending on the definition you use, the September and December full moons could also be considered supermoons.
A full supermoon is a full moon that nearly coincides with the closest that the Moon comes to the Earth in its orbit, called perigee. The moon has a larger-than-usual appearance when you look at it. There isn’t an official definition for how close the moon needs to be to the earth to be considered a supermoon. For the purposes of this site, we’ll follow the Timeanddate.com definition using moons less than 360,000 kilometers from the Earth.
