I love useless knowledge trivia, although I know many of the pieces told are in fact not true (see the famous “bumblebees cannot fly” thing which Cecil thankfully put right).
I found the quotation cited in the subject on the net. Now I wonder: Can this be true? I looked it up and found the time between two full moons is 29.5 days, so I suppose there should be more than one February in history that didn’t have one. If one full moon is on January 31 and it’s not in a leap year, the next one ought to be in March, right? And since recorded history includes several thousand years with pretty many months, there’s certainly one or the other January 31 full moon among them.
There was a full moon on February 10, 1865.
I need to find a 1999 calendar, but I thought there wasn’t a full moon in February 1999.
Swede Hollow is correct. there was no full moon in february of 99.
For your perusal…
Oll korrect. Thanks!
