We have the Quadrantids meteor shower coming up before dawn on January 3, 2014! Hope you catch some!

Some question for our astronomy nerds here:

1) What day of the week was the 18th of July 872 AD?
2) What were the phases of the moon in July 872 AD, in particular on what day was New Moon?

Are you talking Julian calender?  Which calender matters.

Those dates are in the Viking age. I need them for some details in my saga.
Julian calendar but in Christian use (BC/AD not ab urbe condita)

And the same for July 925 please. I could also use lunar eclipses for 872, 925 and 926.

Unlike about every astronomic event in the last decade the sky on this occasion is completely clear here.

It was perfectly clear here, too.  Excellent viewing.
