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 146 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 1843 Jul 11. The series will end with a partial eclipse south of the Ecliptic on 3123 Aug 29. The total duration of Saros series 146 is 1280.14 years. In summary:
First Eclipse = 1843 Jul 11 16:49:47 UT
Last Eclipse = 3123 Aug 29 05:27:51 UT
Duration of Saros 146 = 1280.14 Years
During Saros series 146, Earth experiences 72 lunar eclipses as follows:
All Eclipses = 72 = 100.0%
Penumbral (N) = 16 = 22.2%
Partial (P) = 39 = 54.2%
Total (T) = 17 = 23.6%
Umbral Eclipses = 56 = 77.8%
Central = 10 = 13.9%
Non-Central = 7 = 9.7%

The longest and shortest eclipses of Saros series 146 as well as other eclipse extrema are listed below.
Longest Total Lunar Eclipse: 2492 Aug 08 Duration = 01h40m02s
Shortest Total Lunar Eclipse: 2366 May 25 Duration = 00h11m18s
Longest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 2672 Nov 27 Duration = 03h07m53s
Shortest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 2997 Jun 12 Duration = 00h48m52s
Largest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 2672 Nov 27 Magnitude = 0.9818
Smallest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 2997 Jun 12 Magnitude = 0.0453
