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 139 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 1640 Nov 28. The series will end with a partial eclipse north of the Ecliptic on 3083 Apr 24. The total duration of Saros series 139 is 1442.41 years. In summary:
First Eclipse = 1640 Nov 28 12:11:08 UT
Last Eclipse = 3083 Apr 24 11:58:08 UT
Duration of Saros 139 = 1442.41 Years
During Saros series 139, Earth experiences 81 lunar eclipses as follows:
All Eclipses = 81 = 100.0%
Penumbral (N) = 39 = 48.1%
Partial (P) = 15 = 18.5%
Total (T) = 27 = 33.3%
Umbral Eclipses = 42 = 51.9%
Central = 5 = 6.2%
Non-Central = 22 = 27.2%
Sequence of eclipses in Saros series 139: 17N 7P 27T 8P 22N
The longest and shortest eclipses of Saros series 139 as well as other eclipse extrema are listed below.
Longest Total Lunar Eclipse: 2199 Nov 02 Duration = 01h43m16s
Shortest Total Lunar Eclipse: 2542 May 30 Duration = 00h41m20s
Longest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 2055 Aug 07 Duration = 03h24m05s
Shortest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 1947 Jun 03 Duration = 00h38m31s
Largest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 2055 Aug 07 Magnitude = 0.9640
Smallest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 1947 Jun 03 Magnitude = 0.0248
