The Moon was in the "waning gibbous" phase, at 93% full. It was full yesterday (January 20, 2011).
You can see the Phases of the Moon on the US Naval Observatory's website at the link below.
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"!
The next full moon will be on January (Jan.) 19 2009 Next will be on February (Feb.) 20 2009 Next will be on March (Mar.) 21 2009 Next will be on April (Apr.) 22 2009 And so on...
The last quarter moon occurs approximately halfway between the full moon and the new moon. This phase appears as a half-circle in the sky, with the right side illuminated. It typically happens around 3 weeks after the full moon.

The summer solstice in 1964 occurred on June 21. Checking for a full moon on that specific date in 1964 would require further research into astronomical records or databases that track moon phases for that year.
