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 125 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 1163 Jul 17. The series will end with a partial eclipse north of the Ecliptic on 2443 Sep 09. The total duration of Saros series 125 is 1280.14 years. In summary:
First Eclipse = 1163 Jul 17 11:33:40 UT
Last Eclipse = 2443 Sep 09 18:42:43 UT
Duration of Saros 125 = 1280.14 Years
During Saros series 125, Earth experiences 72 lunar eclipses as follows:
All Eclipses = 72 = 100.0%
Penumbral (N) = 24 = 33.3%
Partial (P) = 22 = 30.6%
Total (T) = 26 = 36.1%
Umbral Eclipses = 48 = 66.7%
Central = 16 = 22.2%
Non-Central = 10 = 13.9%
Sequence of eclipses in Saros series 125: 17N 13P 26T 9P 7N
The longest and shortest eclipses of Saros series 125 as well as other eclipse extrema are listed below.
Longest Total Lunar Eclipse: 1812 Aug 22 Duration = 01h41m02s
Shortest Total Lunar Eclipse: 2155 Mar 19 Duration = 00h37m20s
Longest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 2173 Mar 29 Duration = 03h20m36s
Shortest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 1470 Jan 17 Duration = 00h21m05s
Largest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 2173 Mar 29 Magnitude = 0.9892
Smallest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 1470 Jan 17 Magnitude = 0.0094
