How often do we get a full moon on Halloween?
a) every 9 years
b) every 19 years
c) every 91 years
d) every 919 years
a full moon only occurs roughly once every 19 years (known as the Metonic cycle). But it’s not exact because of the irregularities of our calendar and other cyclic factors. Hence, the dating of a particular lunar phase can be “off” by a day after 19 years. That happened between 1944 and 2020.
If the full Moons are calculated using Greenwich Mean Time, that translates to approximately 3-4 times per century. So maybe the phrase “once in a Blue Moon” really belongs to a full Moon on Halloween!
