[39] The total eclipse lasts for only a maximum of a few minutes at any location because the Moon's umbra moves eastward at over 1700 km/h (1100 mph; 470 m/s ...
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.
