Wondering when were the full moons in 1999? Here’s the Full Moon Calendar 1999 to help you go back and check the 13 full moons.

The dates and times provided by NASA in United States Eastern Time (ET) account for both Eastern Standard Time (EST) and Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) for part of the year in the United States. Also below is the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) time. This was previously referred to as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). Since your local time zone may be different, the exact dates may shift slightly for your calendar.
Full Moon Calendar 1999
Before continuing into the 2000s, we finished the 1990s with an interesting year of full moons.
1999 was a year with 2 blue moons and a black moon. The two blue moons occurred in January and March. As a result, February did not have a full moon at all. A month without a full moon is referred to as a black moon.
The December 1999 full moon also fell on the same day as the Winter Solstice. This setup a seasonal blue moon for the Winter 1999/2000 season, which will occur in February 2000.
The January blue moon also occurred with a penumbral lunar eclipse. A partial lunar eclipse coincided with the July 1999 full moon.
Note: The UTC date show up differently for January because of the conversion between EST and UTC.
