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 134 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 1550 Apr 01. The series will end with a partial eclipse south of the Ecliptic on 2848 Jun 08. The total duration of Saros series 134 is 1298.17 years. In summary:
First Eclipse = 1550 Apr 01 12:51:21 UT
Last Eclipse = 2848 Jun 08 03:51:21 UT
Duration of Saros 134 = 1298.17 Years
During Saros series 134, Earth experiences 73 lunar eclipses as follows:
All Eclipses = 73 = 100.0%
Penumbral (N) = 27 = 37.0%
Partial (P) = 19 = 26.0%
Total (T) = 27 = 37.0%
Umbral Eclipses = 46 = 63.0%
Central = 17 = 23.3%
Non-Central = 10 = 13.7%
Sequence of eclipses in Saros series 134: 8N 9P 27T 10P 19N
The longest and shortest eclipses of Saros series 134 as well as other eclipse extrema are listed below.
Longest Total Lunar Eclipse: 2217 May 22 Duration = 01h41m02s
Shortest Total Lunar Eclipse: 1856 Oct 13 Duration = 00h06m51s
Longest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 2343 Aug 07 Duration = 03h11m33s
Shortest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 1694 Jul 07 Duration = 00h42m40s
Largest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 2343 Aug 07 Magnitude = 0.9546
Smallest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 2505 Nov 12 Magnitude = 0.0361
