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 116 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 0993 Mar 10. The series will end with a partial eclipse south of the Ecliptic on 2291 May 14. The total duration of Saros series 116 is 1298.17 years. In summary:
First Eclipse = 0993 Mar 10 23:40:59 UT
Last Eclipse = 2291 May 14 04:09:10 UT
Duration of Saros 116 = 1298.17 Years
During Saros series 116, Earth experiences 73 lunar eclipses as follows:
All Eclipses = 73 = 100.0%
Penumbral (N) = 29 = 39.7%
Partial (P) = 17 = 23.3%
Total (T) = 27 = 37.0%
Umbral Eclipses = 44 = 60.3%
Central = 17 = 23.3%
Non-Central = 10 = 13.7%
Sequence of eclipses in Saros series 116: 9N 9P 27T 8P 20N
The longest and shortest eclipses of Saros series 116 as well as other eclipse extrema are listed below.
Longest Total Lunar Eclipse: 1696 May 16 Duration = 01h43m18s
Shortest Total Lunar Eclipse: 1317 Sep 21 Duration = 00h21m18s
Longest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 1804 Jul 22 Duration = 03h16m31s
Shortest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 1930 Oct 07 Duration = 00h41m42s
Largest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 1299 Sep 11 Magnitude = 0.9516
Smallest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 1930 Oct 07 Magnitude = 0.0298
