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 144 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 1749 Jul 29. The series will end with a partial eclipse south of the Ecliptic on 3011 Sep 04. The total duration of Saros series 144 is 1262.11 years. In summary:
First Eclipse = 1749 Jul 29 16:30:48 UT
Last Eclipse = 3011 Sep 04 15:32:32 UT
Duration of Saros 144 = 1262.11 Years
During Saros series 144, Earth experiences 71 lunar eclipses as follows:
All Eclipses = 71 = 100.0%
Penumbral (N) = 30 = 42.3%
Partial (P) = 20 = 28.2%
Total (T) = 21 = 29.6%
Umbral Eclipses = 41 = 57.7%
Central = 13 = 18.3%
Non-Central = 8 = 11.3%

The longest and shortest eclipses of Saros series 144 as well as other eclipse extrema are listed below.
Longest Total Lunar Eclipse: 2416 Sep 07 Duration = 01h45m30s
Shortest Total Lunar Eclipse: 2669 Feb 08 Duration = 00h03m53s
Longest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 2687 Feb 19 Duration = 03h29m04s
Shortest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 2146 Mar 28 Duration = 00h51m12s
Largest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 2687 Feb 19 Magnitude = 0.9735
Smallest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 2146 Mar 28 Magnitude = 0.0497
