Typically there are 12 full moons each year, and 1982 had an extra full moon with 13 that year. Ready to dive a little deeper into the 1982 dates? Take a look at each month, the names associated with each full moon, the eclipses that will occur, and the dates for the equinoxes and solstices.

In 1982, there were 13 full moons on the calendar. In the later part of the year, there will be a blue moon.
For the 1982 Blue moon in Eastern United States time, it will occur in November. Because the second November full moon is so late in the day, for UTC the blue moon actually shifted into December.
