no full moon

Traveling around the internet world has been my new hobby. Looks like i have to stop this hobby soon as the school is going to reopen on Monday. It's time to fight! Well, back to the topic. I found out this unusual occasion which has been occurred for so many years on the internet. The unusual happening is that there was no full moon in February of 1866, 1885, 1915, 1934, 1961 and 1999. Has anyone ever realised that? Frankly, i didnt. It's okay if you have never realised about it, you can find the truth about it in February 2018, which means 10 more years from now. According to wikipedia, there will be no full moon during February of 2018. In fact, there were either two full moons in January, March or both in those years which have no full moon. As in 1999, there were two full moons in both January and March. The moon phases cycle every 29.5 days. February, with 28 days (and 29 on a leap year) does miss a phase periodically. So, it is possible for February to miss the full phase. This is the reason why there is no full moon during certain February.
