Lunar Eclipses of Saros 113

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 113 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 0888 Apr 29. The series will end with a partial eclipse north of the Ecliptic on 2150 Jun 10. The total duration of Saros series 113 is 1262.11 years. In summary:

                         First Eclipse = 0888 Apr 29   18:43:45 UT
                          Last Eclipse = 2150 Jun 10   07:09:29 UT

                         Duration of Saros 113 = 1262.11 Years

During Saros series 113, Earth experiences 71 lunar eclipses as follows:

                             All Eclipses =    71  = 100.0%

                            Penumbral (N) =    16  =  22.5%
                              Partial (P) =    41  =  57.7%
                                Total (T) =    14  =  19.7%

         Shortest Partial Lunar Eclipse:   1988 Mar 03      Duration = 00h13m25s

          Largest Partial Lunar Eclipse:   1663 Aug 18     Magnitude = 0.9588
