February, 1999, was also a month with no full moon, making January and
March both "Blue Moon" months; i.e., months with two full moons.

who just thought you'd like to know.

Oh well, if we're going to be sticklers for a germ of truth in facts, then I
might as well point out that there WAS in fact a full moon at 16:27 UTC on
the 10th of February in 1865.

There was no full moon in February in 1866, 1885, 1915, 1934, or 1961, as
well as 1999 as you pointed out above. In 1972 a full moon occurred at 3:12
UTC on February 29th.*
