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 140 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 1579 Sep 05. The series will end with a partial eclipse south of the Ecliptic on 3004 Jan 29. The total duration of Saros series 140 is 1424.38 years. In summary:
First Eclipse = 1579 Sep 05 05:58:39 UT
Last Eclipse = 3004 Jan 29 12:56:13 UT
Duration of Saros 140 = 1424.38 Years
During Saros series 140, Earth experiences 80 lunar eclipses as follows:
All Eclipses = 80 = 100.0%
Penumbral (N) = 36 = 45.0%
Partial (P) = 16 = 20.0%
Total (T) = 28 = 35.0%
Umbral Eclipses = 44 = 55.0%
Central = 6 = 7.5%
Non-Central = 22 = 27.5%
Sequence of eclipses in Saros series 140: 21N 8P 28T 8P 15N
The longest and shortest eclipses of Saros series 140 as well as other eclipse extrema are listed below.
Longest Total Lunar Eclipse: 2264 Nov 04 Duration = 01h39m14s
Shortest Total Lunar Eclipse: 2102 Jul 30 Duration = 00h33m15s
Longest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 2607 Jun 02 Duration = 03h13m52s
Shortest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 2733 Aug 17 Duration = 00h11m30s
Largest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 2607 Jun 02 Magnitude = 0.9989
Smallest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 2733 Aug 17 Magnitude = 0.0025
