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 151 all occur at the Moon’s descending node and the Moon moves northward with each eclipse. The series will begin with a partial eclipse south of the Ecliptic on 2096 Jun 06. The series will end with a partial eclipse north of the Ecliptic on 3358 Jul 13. The total duration of Saros series 151 is 1262.11 years. In summary:
First Eclipse = 2096 Jun 06 02:40:04 UT
Last Eclipse = 3358 Jul 13 05:15:40 UT
Duration of Saros 151 = 1262.11 Years
During Saros series 151, Earth experiences 71 lunar eclipses as follows:
All Eclipses = 71 = 100.0%
Penumbral (N) = 18 = 25.4%
Partial (P) = 39 = 54.9%
Total (T) = 14 = 19.7%
Umbral Eclipses = 53 = 74.6%
Central = 6 = 8.5%
Non-Central = 8 = 11.3%
Sequence of eclipses in Saros series 151: 8N 18P 14T 21P 10N
The longest and shortest eclipses of Saros series 151 as well as other eclipse extrema are listed below.
Longest Total Lunar Eclipse: 2709 Jun 14 Duration = 01h44m44s
Shortest Total Lunar Eclipse: 2565 Mar 18 Duration = 00h36m59s
Longest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 2547 Mar 07 Duration = 03h27m43s
Shortest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 3178 Mar 26 Duration = 00h20m03s
Largest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 2547 Mar 07 Magnitude = 0.9994
Smallest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 3178 Mar 26 Magnitude = 0.0082
