Lunar Eclipses of Saros 132

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 Moon’s 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%

Blue Bar Umbral Eclipses = 45 = 63.4% Central = 5 = 7.0% Non-Central = 7 = 9.9%

         Shortest Partial Lunar Eclipse:   2429 Dec 11      Duration = 00h10m37s

          Largest Partial Lunar Eclipse:   2231 Aug 13     Magnitude = 0.9492
