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.
