1971 Calendar

Every month of 1971 as a printable table, with public holidays, ISO week numbers and the year's eclipses, moon phases and meteor showers.

1971 has 365 days, starts on a Friday, is not a leap year, and runs to 52 ISO weeks. It runs from Friday 1 January 1971 to Friday 31 December 1971. There are 9 United States federal holidays in 1971, two of which fall at a weekend and are kept on a different day. Worth knowing: 1 January 1971 falls in week 53 of 1970, not in week 1 of 1971.

  • Public holiday in the selected country
  • Today
  • Saturday and Sunday
  • 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 1971 has 52 weeks and why 1 January is not always in week 1.

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 1971.
Peak Shower Rate/hour Moon lit Viewing
3 January 1971 Quadrantids (debris from Asteroid 2003 EH1) 110 47% Moonlight will wash out fainter meteors
22 April 1971 Lyrids (debris from Comet Thatcher) 18 8% Dark sky, near new moon
6 May 1971 Eta Aquariids (debris from Halley's Comet) 50 88% Bright moon, only the brightest will show
30 July 1971 Southern Delta Aquariids (debris from Comet 96P/Machholz) 25 55% Moonlight will wash out fainter meteors
