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 126 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 1210 Jul 08. The series will end with a partial eclipse south of the Ecliptic on 2490 Aug 30. The total duration of Saros series 126 is 1280.14 years. In summary:
First Eclipse = 1210 Jul 08 10:58:32 UT
Last Eclipse = 2490 Aug 30 10:24:54 UT
Duration of Saros 126 = 1280.14 Years
During Saros series 126, Earth experiences 72 lunar eclipses as follows:
All Eclipses = 72 = 100.0%
Penumbral (N) = 31 = 43.1%
Partial (P) = 27 = 37.5%
Total (T) = 14 = 19.4%
Umbral Eclipses = 41 = 56.9%
Central = 6 = 8.3%
Non-Central = 8 = 11.1%
Sequence of eclipses in Saros series 126: 23N 8P 14T 19P 8N
The longest and shortest eclipses of Saros series 126 as well as other eclipse extrema are listed below.
Longest Total Lunar Eclipse: 1859 Aug 13 Duration = 01h47m04s
Shortest Total Lunar Eclipse: 2003 Nov 09 Duration = 00h24m32s
Longest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 2021 Nov 19 Duration = 03h29m03s
Shortest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 2346 Jun 05 Duration = 00h38m52s
Largest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 2021 Nov 19 Magnitude = 0.9786
Smallest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 2346 Jun 05 Magnitude = 0.0267
