Metonic cycles (19 years)

edit

The Metonic cycle repeats nearly exactly every 19 years and represents a Saros cycle plus one lunar year. Because it occurs on the same calendar date, the Earth's shadow will in nearly the same location relative to the background stars.

  1. 2006 Mar 14.99 - penumbral (113)
  2. 2025 Mar 14.29 - total (123)
  3. 2044 Mar 13.82 - total (133)

  4. 2063 Sep 07.86 - penumbral (148)
 

Tritos series

edit

The tritos series repeats 31 days short of 11 years at alternating nodes. Sequential events have incremental Saros cycle indices.

This series produces 23 total eclipses between June 22, 1880 and August 9, 2120.

Half-Saros cycle

edit

A lunar eclipse will be preceded and followed by solar eclipses by 9 years and 5.5 days (a half saros).[3] This lunar eclipse is related to two annular solar eclipses of Solar Saros 140.
