What was the moon on the eighth of February 2012?

it was a harvest moon (full moon but orange in colour)


In record history when was the only month to not have a full moon?

This is a fallacy. There was, in fact, a full moon in February, 1865. It occurred on 1865 February 10 at 16:27 UTC. The specific chart is the USNO 1865 Moon Phases document. This is not to say, however, that it is impossible for February to miss the full phase. The moon phases cycle every 29.5 days. Februrary, with 28 days (and 29 on a leap year), does miss a phase periodically.

Why does a blue moon never occur in the month of February?

The popular definition of a "blue moon" is: "The second Full Moon in the samecalendar month".Although the origin of the term "blue moon" is nothing like that definition,we'll go with it, because that's what everybody nowadays thinks it is.The period of the moon's phases ... the time it takes to go through all of them ...is 29.531 days. (rounded)February has 28 days in three out of four years, and 29 days every fourth year.So February is never quite long enough to score two Full Moons.Even if it was a Leap Year and February 1 began at the exact instant of Full Moon,the next instant of Full Moon wouldn't occur until about 12hours 45minutes afterthe end of February 29th.


When is the next red moon in 2010?

About every 28 years or so, the month of February will pass without a full moon. If this happens, there will be "blue moons" (two full moons in the same month) in January and in March. Since the lunar cycle takes 29.5 days and every other month is 30 or 31 days, there will always be at least one full moon in any month except February. And February is the only month that can NEVER have a "blue moon"!

Why can't the moon be full in February?

The Moon CAN be full in February, and in fact it usually is. Rarely, the Moon is full on January 31, which means it won't be full again until after February is over. But this only happens on average a little over three times a century.

Why was there no full moon in one month in 1865?

It was, no doubt, a February. About every 30 years, the moon is full on January 2nd, and again on January 31. The next full moon happens to be on March 1! An entire MONTH (well, it was only February, which IS the shortest month) with no full moons!
