Lunar Eclipses of Saros 114

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 Moon’s 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%

Blue Bar Umbral Eclipses = 44 = 62.0% Central = 6 = 8.5% Non-Central = 7 = 9.9%

          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
