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 133 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 1557 May 13. The series will end with a partial eclipse north of the Ecliptic on 2819 Jun 29. The total duration of Saros series 133 is 1262.11 years. In summary:
First Eclipse = 1557 May 13 09:19:51 UT
Last Eclipse = 2819 Jun 29 02:31:13 UT
Duration of Saros 133 = 1262.11 Years
During Saros series 133, Earth experiences 71 lunar eclipses as follows:
All Eclipses = 71 = 100.0%
Penumbral (N) = 16 = 22.5%
Partial (P) = 34 = 47.9%
Total (T) = 21 = 29.6%
Umbral Eclipses = 55 = 77.5%
Central = 13 = 18.3%
Non-Central = 8 = 11.3%
Sequence of eclipses in Saros series 133: 7N 13P 21T 21P 9N
The longest and shortest eclipses of Saros series 133 as well as other eclipse extrema are listed below.
Longest Total Lunar Eclipse: 2170 May 30 Duration = 01h42m20s
Shortest Total Lunar Eclipse: 1917 Dec 28 Duration = 00h16m12s
Longest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 1899 Dec 17 Duration = 03h22m42s
Shortest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 2657 Mar 22 Duration = 00h17m53s
Largest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 1899 Dec 17 Magnitude = 0.9969
Smallest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 2657 Mar 22 Magnitude = 0.0067
