The periodicity and recurrance of solar (and lunar) eclipses is governed by the Saros cycle, a period of approximately 6,585.3 days (18 years 11 days 8 hours). When two eclipses are separated by a period of one Saros, they share a very similar geometry. The eclipses occur at the same node with the Moon at nearly the same distance from Earth and at the same time of year. Thus, the Saros is useful for organizing eclipses into families or series. Each series typically lasts 12 to 13 centuries and contains 70 or more eclipses.
Lunar eclipses of Saros series 102 all occur at the Moon’s ascending node and the Moon moves southward with each eclipse. The series began with a partial eclipse north of the Ecliptic on 0461 Oct 05. The series ended with a partial eclipse south of the Ecliptic on 1958 Apr 04. The total duration of Saros series 102 is 1496.50 years. In summary:
First Eclipse = 0461 Oct 05 13:37:57 UT
Last Eclipse = 1958 Apr 04 03:59:40 UT
Duration of Saros 102 = 1496.50 Years
During Saros series 102, Earth experiences 84 lunar eclipses as follows:
All Eclipses = 84 = 100.0%
Penumbral (N) = 44 = 52.4%
Partial (P) = 13 = 15.5%
Total (T) = 27 = 32.1%
Umbral Eclipses = 40 = 47.6%
Central = 6 = 7.1%
Non-Central = 21 = 25.0%
Sequence of eclipses in Saros series 102: 21N 6P 27T 7P 23N
The longest and shortest eclipses of Saros series 102 as well as other eclipse extrema are listed below.
Longest Total Lunar Eclipse: 1074 Oct 07 Duration = 01h45m19s
Shortest Total Lunar Eclipse: 1417 May 01 Duration = 00h05m54s
Longest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 0930 Jul 13 Duration = 03h24m58s
Shortest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 1543 Jul 16 Duration = 01h04m53s
Largest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 0930 Jul 13 Magnitude = 0.9150
Smallest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 1543 Jul 16 Magnitude = 0.0832
