Lunar Eclipses of Saros 130

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 130 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 1416 Jun 10. The series will end with a partial eclipse south of the Ecliptic on 2696 Aug 05. The total duration of Saros series 130 is 1280.14 years. In summary:

                         First Eclipse = 1416 Jun 10   11:49:48 UT
                          Last Eclipse = 2696 Aug 05   12:30:51 UT

                         Duration of Saros 130 = 1280.14 Years

During Saros series 130, Earth experiences 72 lunar eclipses as follows:

                             All Eclipses =    72  = 100.0%

                            Penumbral (N) =    16  =  22.2%
                              Partial (P) =    42  =  58.3%
                                Total (T) =    14  =  19.4%

Blue Bar Umbral Eclipses = 56 = 77.8% Central = 7 = 9.7% Non-Central = 7 = 9.7%

         Shortest Partial Lunar Eclipse:   2552 May 10      Duration = 00h53m54s

          Largest Partial Lunar Eclipse:   1903 Apr 12     Magnitude = 0.9730
