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 136 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 1680 Apr 13. The series will end with a partial eclipse south of the Ecliptic on 2960 May 31. The total duration of Saros series 136 is 1280.14 years. In summary:
First Eclipse = 1680 Apr 13 23:17:47 UT
Last Eclipse = 2960 May 31 23:38:14 UT
Duration of Saros 136 = 1280.14 Years
During Saros series 136, Earth experiences 72 lunar eclipses as follows:
All Eclipses = 72 = 100.0%
Penumbral (N) = 29 = 40.3%
Partial (P) = 16 = 22.2%
Total (T) = 27 = 37.5%
Umbral Eclipses = 43 = 59.7%
Central = 7 = 9.7%
Non-Central = 20 = 27.8%
Sequence of eclipses in Saros series 136: 8N 7P 27T 9P 21N
The longest and shortest eclipses of Saros series 136 as well as other eclipse extrema are listed below.
Longest Total Lunar Eclipse: 2293 Apr 21 Duration = 01h42m02s
Shortest Total Lunar Eclipse: 2419 Jul 07 Duration = 00h15m05s
Longest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 1932 Sep 14 Duration = 03h24m40s
Shortest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 2581 Oct 13 Duration = 00h07m49s
Largest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 1932 Sep 14 Magnitude = 0.9800
Smallest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 2581 Oct 13 Magnitude = 0.0013
