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 135 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 1615 Apr 13. The series will end with a partial eclipse north of the Ecliptic on 2877 May 18. The total duration of Saros series 135 is 1262.11 years. In summary:
First Eclipse = 1615 Apr 13 19:36:41 UT
Last Eclipse = 2877 May 18 11:55:24 UT
Duration of Saros 135 = 1262.11 Years
During Saros series 135, Earth experiences 71 lunar eclipses as follows:
All Eclipses = 71 = 100.0%
Penumbral (N) = 31 = 43.7%
Partial (P) = 17 = 23.9%
Total (T) = 23 = 32.4%
Umbral Eclipses = 40 = 56.3%
Central = 14 = 19.7%
Non-Central = 9 = 12.7%
Sequence of eclipses in Saros series 135: 9N 10P 23T 7P 22N
The longest and shortest eclipses of Saros series 135 as well as other eclipse extrema are listed below.
Longest Total Lunar Eclipse: 2264 May 12 Duration = 01h46m49s
Shortest Total Lunar Eclipse: 1957 Nov 07 Duration = 00h29m58s
Longest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 1939 Oct 28 Duration = 03h24m03s
Shortest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 2480 Sep 19 Duration = 00h50m26s
Largest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 1939 Oct 28 Magnitude = 0.9923
Smallest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 2480 Sep 19 Magnitude = 0.0424
