Was there a blue moon in 1901?
Yes, there was a blue moon in 1901 on Wednesday July 31, 1901. July had two full moons with the second full moon being considered a blue moon. Each season in 1901 had 3 full moons so there was not also a seasonal blue moon that year.
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 to 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.
Full Supermoons in 1901

There isn’t an official definition on the exact distance the moon needs to be to be called a supermoon. It’s approximately 360,000 kilometers or closer depending on the definition.
