15 Jun 06 - 04:04 AM (#1760429) Subject: RE: BS: Full Moon & Soltice From: Paul Burke Every every 19 years (the Metonic cycle), though every 219 (IIRC) years it's either 18 or 20 to bring it back in line- a bit like leap years. I'll have to look it up when I get home. And of course it's a Special Occasion, because every day is. |

Naval Observatory site, this years's (2006) full moon in June was on June 11, and the summer solstice will be on June 21. But if the full moon did coincide with the summer solstice, it might well be regarded as a special occasion! Don |
