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 132 all occur at the Moons ascending node and the Moon moves southward with each eclipse. The series began with a partial eclipse north of the Ecliptic on 1492 May 12. The series will end with a partial eclipse south of the Ecliptic on 2754 Jun 26. The total duration of Saros series 132 is 1262.11 years. In summary:
First Eclipse = 1492 May 12 06:16:29 UT Last Eclipse = 2754 Jun 26 22:03:42 UT Duration of Saros 132 = 1262.11 Years
During Saros series 132, Earth experiences 71 lunar eclipses as follows:
All Eclipses = 71 = 100.0% Penumbral (N) = 26 = 36.6% Partial (P) = 33 = 46.5% Total (T) = 12 = 16.9%
Umbral Eclipses = 45 = 63.4% Central = 5 = 7.0% Non-Central = 7 = 9.9%

The longest and shortest eclipses of Saros series 132 as well as other eclipse extrema are listed below.
Longest Total Lunar Eclipse: 2141 Jun 19 Duration = 01h46m43s Shortest Total Lunar Eclipse: 2015 Apr 04 Duration = 00h11m57s Longest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 2231 Aug 13 Duration = 03h27m38s Shortest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 2429 Dec 11 Duration = 00h10m37s Largest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 2231 Aug 13 Magnitude = 0.9492 Smallest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 2429 Dec 11 Magnitude = 0.0019
