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 147 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 1872 Jun 21. The series will end with a partial eclipse north of the Ecliptic on 3134 Jul 28. The total duration of Saros series 147 is 1262.11 years. In summary:
First Eclipse = 1872 Jun 21 06:42:52 UT
Last Eclipse = 3134 Jul 28 06:08:10 UT
Duration of Saros 147 = 1262.11 Years
During Saros series 147, Earth experiences 71 lunar eclipses as follows:
All Eclipses = 71 = 100.0%
Penumbral (N) = 17 = 23.9%
Partial (P) = 42 = 59.2%
Total (T) = 12 = 16.9%
Umbral Eclipses = 54 = 76.1%
Central = 5 = 7.0%
Non-Central = 7 = 9.9%

The longest and shortest eclipses of Saros series 147 as well as other eclipse extrema are listed below.
Longest Total Lunar Eclipse: 2539 Aug 01 Duration = 01h45m55s
Shortest Total Lunar Eclipse: 2647 Oct 05 Duration = 00h33m39s
Longest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 2665 Oct 16 Duration = 03h25m29s
Shortest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 2034 Sep 28 Duration = 00h31m21s
Largest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 2431 May 27 Magnitude = 0.9694
Smallest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 2034 Sep 28 Magnitude = 0.0198
