Every month of 1908 as a printable table, with public holidays, ISO week numbers and the year's eclipses, moon phases and meteor showers.
1908 has 366 days, starts on a Wednesday, is a leap year, and runs to 53 ISO weeks. It runs from Wednesday 1 January 1908 to Thursday 31 December 1908. There are 7 United States federal holidays in 1908, and none of them falls at a weekend. Worth knowing: 1908 is a 53-week year under ISO 8601, which is the case that breaks payroll and reporting systems written for 52.

Wk ISO 8601 week number
Weeks start on Monday so that the week number in the left gutter applies to the
whole row. ISO 8601 defines week 1 as the week containing the first Thursday of
the year, which is why 1908 has 53 weeks and why 1 January is not always
in week 1.
Public holidays in 1908
The 11 federal holidays in 5 U.S.C. 6103, with the rules that were actually in force in each year. State and local holidays are not included.

and a second full moon inside one calendar month is a Blue Moon.

Meteor showers
Peak nights drift by about a day between years, because the Earth meets each
stream at a fixed point in its orbit rather than on a fixed date. What
changes the view far more is the Moon, so we compute how much of it is lit
on the peak night of 1908.

1908 is a leap year, so February has 29 days. A year is a leap year when it divides by 4, except century years, which must also divide by 400. That is why 1900 was not a leap year and 2000 was. It is also a 53-week year under ISO 8601, which happens roughly every five to six years and regularly breaks payroll and reporting systems that assume 52.
Years you can reuse this calendar for
These years start on the same weekday and have the same February, so the grid
above is identical. A 1908 wall calendar hangs again, unchanged, in any of them.
Public holidays computed from statute, cross-checked against
Nager.Date for every year it covers. Astronomical
events computed with astronomy-engine. Week numbers follow ISO 8601. Times are UTC.
