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 112 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 0859 May 20. The series will end with a partial eclipse south of the Ecliptic on 2139 Jul 11. The total duration of Saros series 112 is 1280.14 years. In summary:
First Eclipse = 0859 May 20 13:00:58 UT
Last Eclipse = 2139 Jul 11 23:56:48 UT
Duration of Saros 112 = 1280.14 Years
During Saros series 112, Earth experiences 72 lunar eclipses as follows:
All Eclipses = 72 = 100.0%
Penumbral (N) = 14 = 19.4%
Partial (P) = 43 = 59.7%
Total (T) = 15 = 20.8%
Umbral Eclipses = 58 = 80.6%
Central = 7 = 9.7%
Non-Central = 8 = 11.1%
Sequence of eclipses in Saros series 112: 7N 21P 15T 22P 7N
The longest and shortest eclipses of Saros series 112 as well as other eclipse extrema are listed below.
Longest Total Lunar Eclipse: 1490 Jun 02 Duration = 01h40m31s
Shortest Total Lunar Eclipse: 1616 Aug 27 Duration = 00h28m29s
Longest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 1346 Mar 08 Duration = 03h09m19s
Shortest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 0985 Aug 03 Duration = 00h28m25s
Largest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 1346 Mar 08 Magnitude = 0.9643
Smallest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 0985 Aug 03 Magnitude = 0.0144
