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 114 all occur at the Moons ascending node and the Moon moves southward with each eclipse. The series began with a partial eclipse north of the Ecliptic on 0971 May 13. The series will end with a partial eclipse south of the Ecliptic on 2233 Jun 22. The total duration of Saros series 114 is 1262.11 years. In summary:
First Eclipse = 0971 May 13 03:34:39 UT Last Eclipse = 2233 Jun 22 22:14:01 UT Duration of Saros 114 = 1262.11 Years
During Saros series 114, Earth experiences 71 lunar eclipses as follows:
All Eclipses = 71 = 100.0% Penumbral (N) = 27 = 38.0% Partial (P) = 31 = 43.7% Total (T) = 13 = 18.3%
Umbral Eclipses = 44 = 62.0% Central = 6 = 8.5% Non-Central = 7 = 9.9%
Sequence of eclipses in Saros series 114: 8N 19P 13T 12P 19N
The longest and shortest eclipses of Saros series 114 as well as other eclipse extrema are listed below.
Longest Total Lunar Eclipse: 1584 May 24 Duration = 01h46m42s Shortest Total Lunar Eclipse: 1458 Feb 28 Duration = 00h33m39s Longest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 1440 Feb 18 Duration = 03h29m32s Shortest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 1890 Nov 26 Duration = 00h18m55s Largest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 1440 Feb 18 Magnitude = 0.9786 Smallest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 1890 Nov 26 Magnitude = 0.0065
