There will be 2 Blue Moons in 1999. The dates when the Full Moons happen are January 2, January 31 and March 2 , March 31. Based on the Universal Times, the Blue Moons would be January 31 and March 31. If you are in other time zones, the dates may change somewhat. For instance, lets look at what an observer in the United States using 'Central Standard Time' would see. To get CST you have to subtract 6 hours from Universal Time:
Central Standard Time Full Moon Universal Full Moon CST Date Time Date January 2, 1999 2:50:36 January 1 20:50:36 January 31 16:07:34 January 31 10:07:34 March 2 6:59:31 March 2 0:59:31 March 31 22:49:58 March 31 16:49:58
