This eclipse is a part of Saros series 115, repeating every 18 years, 11 days, and containing 72 events. The series started with a partial solar eclipse on June 21, 662 AD. It contains total eclipses from October 7, 842 AD through November 2, 1491; hybrid eclipses from November 12, 1509 through December 15, 1563; and annular eclipses from December 25, 1581 through May 27, 1816. The series ends at member 72 as a partial eclipse on August 12, 1942. Its eclipses are tabulated in three columns; every third eclipse in the same column is one exeligmos apart, so they all cast shadows over approximately the same parts of the Earth.
The longest duration of totality was produced by member 36 at 6 minutes, 24 seconds on July 5, 1293, and the longest duration of annularity was produced by member 65 at 1 minutes, 54 seconds on May 27, 1816. All eclipses in this series occur at the Moon’s ascending node of orbit.[1]
