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 119 all occur at the Moons descending node and the Moon moves northward with each eclipse. The series began with a partial eclipse south of the Ecliptic on 0917 Oct 03. The series will end with a partial eclipse north of the Ecliptic on 2396 Mar 25. The total duration of Saros series 119 is 1478.47 years. In summary:
First Eclipse = 0917 Oct 03 10:30:18 UT Last Eclipse = 2396 Mar 25 09:44:27 UT Duration of Saros 119 = 1478.47 Years
During Saros series 119, Earth experiences 83 lunar eclipses as follows:
All Eclipses = 83 = 100.0% Penumbral (N) = 41 = 49.4% Partial (P) = 14 = 16.9% Total (T) = 28 = 33.7%
Umbral Eclipses = 42 = 50.6% Central = 7 = 8.4% Non-Central = 21 = 25.3%
Sequence of eclipses in Saros series 119: 21N 8P 28T 6P 20N
The longest and shortest eclipses of Saros series 119 as well as other eclipse extrema are listed below.
Longest Total Lunar Eclipse: 1801 Mar 30 Duration = 01h42m44s Shortest Total Lunar Eclipse: 1927 Jun 15 Duration = 00h21m03s Longest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 1945 Jun 25 Duration = 03h13m28s Shortest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 1296 May 18 Duration = 01h05m06s Largest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 1422 Aug 02 Magnitude = 0.9887 Smallest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 1296 May 18 Magnitude = 0.0911
