Lunar Eclipses of Saros 111

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 111 all occur at the Moon’s descending node and the Moon moves northward with each eclipse. The series began with a partial eclipse south of the Ecliptic on 0830 Jun 10. The series will end with a partial eclipse north of the Ecliptic on 2092 Jul 19. The total duration of Saros series 111 is 1262.11 years. In summary:

                         First Eclipse = 0830 Jun 10   05:54:20 UT
                          Last Eclipse = 2092 Jul 19   00:38:31 UT

                         Duration of Saros 111 = 1262.11 Years

During Saros series 111, Earth experiences 71 lunar eclipses as follows:

                             All Eclipses =    71  = 100.0%

                            Penumbral (N) =    17  =  23.9%
                              Partial (P) =    43  =  60.6%
                                Total (T) =    11  =  15.5%

          Longest Partial Lunar Eclipse:   1335 Apr 08      Duration = 03h25m52s
         Shortest Partial Lunar Eclipse:   1948 Apr 23      Duration = 00h38m16s

          Largest Partial Lunar Eclipse:   1551 Aug 16     Magnitude = 0.9740
         Smallest Partial Lunar Eclipse:   1948 Apr 23     Magnitude = 0.0284
