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 137 all occur at the Moon’s descending node and the Moon moves northward with each eclipse. The series began with a partial eclipse south of the Ecliptic on 1528 Nov 26. The series will end with a partial eclipse north of the Ecliptic on 2971 May 01. The total duration of Saros series 137 is 1442.41 years. In summary:
First Eclipse = 1528 Nov 26 03:58:32 UT
Last Eclipse = 2971 May 01 17:20:08 UT
Duration of Saros 137 = 1442.41 Years
During Saros series 137, Earth experiences 81 lunar eclipses as follows:
All Eclipses = 81 = 100.0%
Penumbral (N) = 38 = 46.9%
Partial (P) = 15 = 18.5%
Total (T) = 28 = 34.6%
Umbral Eclipses = 43 = 53.1%
Central = 7 = 8.6%
Non-Central = 21 = 25.9%
Sequence of eclipses in Saros series 137: 17N 8P 28T 7P 21N
The longest and shortest eclipses of Saros series 137 as well as other eclipse extrema are listed below.
Longest Total Lunar Eclipse: 2340 Apr 13 Duration = 01h40m32s
Shortest Total Lunar Eclipse: 2466 Jun 28 Duration = 00h34m26s
Longest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 2484 Jul 09 Duration = 03h08m28s
Shortest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 1835 Jun 10 Duration = 00h59m20s
Largest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 1961 Aug 26 Magnitude = 0.9920
Smallest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 1835 Jun 10 Magnitude = 0.0741
