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 141 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 1608 Aug 25. The series will end with a partial eclipse north of the Ecliptic on 2906 Oct 23. The total duration of Saros series 141 is 1298.17 years. In summary:
First Eclipse = 1608 Aug 25 19:18:07 UT
Last Eclipse = 2906 Oct 23 09:36:29 UT
Duration of Saros 141 = 1298.17 Years
During Saros series 141, Earth experiences 73 lunar eclipses as follows:
All Eclipses = 73 = 100.0%
Penumbral (N) = 33 = 45.2%
Partial (P) = 14 = 19.2%
Total (T) = 26 = 35.6%
Umbral Eclipses = 40 = 54.8%
Central = 7 = 9.6%
Non-Central = 19 = 26.0%
Sequence of eclipses in Saros series 141: 24N 7P 26T 7P 9N
The longest and shortest eclipses of Saros series 141 as well as other eclipse extrema are listed below.
Longest Total Lunar Eclipse: 2293 Oct 16 Duration = 01h45m12s
Shortest Total Lunar Eclipse: 2618 May 01 Duration = 00h16m58s
Longest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 2636 May 12 Duration = 03h23m39s
Shortest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 2744 Jul 16 Duration = 00h39m45s
Largest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 2636 May 12 Magnitude = 0.8951
Smallest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 2744 Jul 16 Magnitude = 0.0262
