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 127 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 1275 Jul 09. The series will end with a partial eclipse north of the Ecliptic on 2555 Sep 02. The total duration of Saros series 127 is 1280.14 years. In summary:
First Eclipse = 1275 Jul 09 14:13:28 UT
Last Eclipse = 2555 Sep 02 15:18:06 UT
Duration of Saros 127 = 1280.14 Years
During Saros series 127, Earth experiences 72 lunar eclipses as follows:
All Eclipses = 72 = 100.0%
Penumbral (N) = 18 = 25.0%
Partial (P) = 38 = 52.8%
Total (T) = 16 = 22.2%
Umbral Eclipses = 54 = 75.0%
Central = 8 = 11.1%
Non-Central = 8 = 11.1%
Sequence of eclipses in Saros series 127: 11N 18P 16T 20P 7N
The longest and shortest eclipses of Saros series 127 as well as other eclipse extrema are listed below.
Longest Total Lunar Eclipse: 1888 Jul 23 Duration = 01h42m25s
Shortest Total Lunar Eclipse: 2068 Nov 09 Duration = 00h21m38s
Longest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 1780 May 18 Duration = 03h16m35s
Shortest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 1473 Nov 04 Duration = 00h21m20s
Largest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 2086 Nov 20 Magnitude = 0.9924
Smallest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 1473 Nov 04 Magnitude = 0.0077
