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 142 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 1709 Sep 19. The series will end with a partial eclipse south of the Ecliptic on 3025 Nov 27. The total duration of Saros series 142 is 1316.20 years. In summary:
First Eclipse = 1709 Sep 19 00:30:36 UT
Last Eclipse = 3025 Nov 27 07:22:21 UT
Duration of Saros 142 = 1316.20 Years
During Saros series 142, Earth experiences 74 lunar eclipses as follows:
All Eclipses = 74 = 100.0%
Penumbral (N) = 32 = 43.2%
Partial (P) = 15 = 20.3%
Total (T) = 27 = 36.5%
Umbral Eclipses = 42 = 56.8%
Central = 15 = 20.3%
Non-Central = 12 = 16.2%
Sequence of eclipses in Saros series 142: 21N 6P 27T 9P 11N
The longest and shortest eclipses of Saros series 142 as well as other eclipse extrema are listed below.
Longest Total Lunar Eclipse: 2304 Sep 15 Duration = 01h44m32s
Shortest Total Lunar Eclipse: 2196 Jul 10 Duration = 00h03m25s
Longest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 2178 Jun 30 Duration = 03h15m19s
Shortest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 2827 Jul 29 Duration = 00h30m10s
Largest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 2683 May 03 Magnitude = 0.9589
Smallest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 2827 Jul 29 Magnitude = 0.0189
