Each eclipse in a hexon series (except the last) is followed by an eclipse whose saros series number is 8 lower, always occurring at the same node. It is equal to 35 synodic months, 1 less than 3 lunar years (36 synodic months). At any given time there are six hexon series active. Hepton 7 eclipse seasons, and one of the less noteworthy eclipse ...
18.999 eclipse years (38 eclipse seasons of 173.31 days) 238.992 anomalistic months; 241.029 sidereal months; The 19 eclipse years means that if there is a solar eclipse (or lunar eclipse), then after one saros a new moon will take place at the same node of the orbit of the Moon, and under these circumstances another solar eclipse can occur.
A "deep eclipse" (or "deep occultation") is when a small astronomical object is behind a bigger one. [2] [3] The term eclipse is most often used to describe either a solar eclipse, when the Moon's shadow crosses the Earth's surface, or a lunar eclipse, when the Moon moves into the Earth's shadow. However, it can also refer to such events beyond ...
Replace century solar eclipse lists (existing ones very slow to build pages) cross-referenced by related eclipse cycles. Lunar year - 177/354 days (1901-2100) Saros cycle - 18 years, 10 days; Metonic cycle - 19 years, and octant subgroups (3.8 years) Tritos - 30 days short of 11 years; Inex - 20 days short of 29 years
A total lunar eclipse occurred at the Moon’s ascending node of orbit on Friday, June 4, 1993, [1] with an umbral magnitude of 1.5617. A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon moves into the Earth's shadow, causing the Moon to be darkened. A total lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon's near side entirely passes into the Earth's umbral shadow.
Below is a list of all total eclipses at least 7 minutes long that will occur between the 22nd and 30th centuries. Of the listed eclipses, the first five are in Solar Saros 139, the next three are in Solar Saros 145, and the final four are in Solar Saros 170.
The first total eclipse occurred on December 21, 1843, over southern Asia and lasted 1 minute and 43 seconds. The last total eclipse will occur on March 26, 2601, over Antarctica and the Southern Ocean, lasting 35 seconds. This series is currently producing total eclipses over 4 minutes long, with each one gradually increasing in length.
