Solar eclipses are grouped by their saros number, each series lasts between 1200 and 1600 years and contains from 69 to 87 solar eclipses (most often 70 to 73). Solar eclipses in odd series exist at the ascending node of the Moon's orbit, and even series occur at the descending nodes. Each series begins with partial eclipses, transitions into ...

The solar eclipse of July 5 (sometimes erroneously reported as June 7), [3] as well as the eclipse of November 30 a few months later, caused Charlemagne to write a letter in 811 to Waldo, abbot of the Abbey of Saint-Denis in Paris, asking the Irish monk Dungal, then resident at the abbey, to analyze the eclipses; he did so, relying on Roman ...
