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 149 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 1984 Jun 13. The series will end with a partial eclipse north of the Ecliptic on 3246 Jul 20. The total duration of Saros series 149 is 1262.11 years. In summary:
First Eclipse = 1984 Jun 13 14:25:43 UT
Last Eclipse = 3246 Jul 20 19:53:15 UT
Duration of Saros 149 = 1262.11 Years
During Saros series 149, Earth experiences 71 lunar eclipses as follows:
All Eclipses = 71 = 100.0%
Penumbral (N) = 14 = 19.7%
Partial (P) = 42 = 59.2%
Total (T) = 15 = 21.1%
Umbral Eclipses = 57 = 80.3%
Central = 7 = 9.9%
Non-Central = 8 = 11.3%
Sequence of eclipses in Saros series 149: 7N 21P 15T 21P 7N
The longest and shortest eclipses of Saros series 149 as well as other eclipse extrema are listed below.
Longest Total Lunar Eclipse: 2615 Jul 03 Duration = 01h39m58s
Shortest Total Lunar Eclipse: 2489 Apr 16 Duration = 00h30m47s
Longest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 2471 Apr 05 Duration = 03h05m18s
Shortest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 3120 May 05 Duration = 00h36m15s
Largest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 2471 Apr 05 Magnitude = 0.9667
Smallest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 3120 May 05 Magnitude = 0.0249
