The saros is a period of exactly 223 synodic months, approximately 6585.321 days, or 18 years plus 10, 11, or 12 days, and 8 hours, that can be used to predict eclipses of the Sun and Moon. One saros period after an eclipse, the Sun, Earth, and Moon return to approximately the same relative geometry, a near straight line, and a nearly identical eclipse will occur, in what is referred to as an eclipse cycle. A sar is one half of a saros.
A total lunar eclipse occurred at the Moon’s descending node of orbit on Tuesday, May 4, 2004, with an umbral magnitude of 1.3035. 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. Unlike a solar eclipse, which can only be viewed from a relatively small area of the world, a lunar eclipse may be viewed from anywhere on the night side of Earth. A total lunar eclipse can last up to nearly two hours, while a total solar eclipse lasts only a few minutes at any given place, because the Moon's shadow is smaller. Occurring about 1.2 days before perigee, the Moon's apparent diameter was larger.
A total lunar eclipse will take place on May 26, 2040. The northern limb of the Moon will pass through the center of the Earth's shadow. This is the second central lunar eclipse of Saros series 131. This lunar event will occur near perigee, as a result, it will be referred to as a "super flower blood moon" or "super blood moon", though not quite as close to Earth as the eclipse of May 26, 2021.
A total lunar eclipse will take place on July 7, 2047. It will last 1 hour 40 minutes and 49 seconds and will plunge the full Moon into deep darkness, as it passes right through the centre of the Earth's umbral shadow. While the visual effect of a total eclipse is variable, the Moon may be stained a deep orange or red colour at maximum eclipse. This will be a great spectacle for everyone who sees it. The partial eclipse will last for 3 hours and 39 minutes in total.
A total lunar eclipse will take place on July 17, 2065. The lunar eclipse will last 1 hour and 37 minutes, and the umbra will completely cover the moon. While the visual effect of a total eclipse is variable, the Moon may be stained a deep orange or red color at maximum eclipse. The partial eclipse will last for 3 hours and 36 minutes in total. This eclipse will be a central eclipse; this means the center of the umbra will pass on the moon.
A total lunar eclipse will take place on June 17, 2076. The moon will pass through the center of the Earth's shadow. While the visual effect of a total eclipse is variable, the Moon may be stained a deep orange or red color at maximum eclipse. With a gamma value of only −0.0452 and an umbral eclipse magnitude of 1.7943, this is the second greatest eclipse in Saros series 131 as well as the largest and darkest lunar eclipse between June 26, 2029 and June 28, 2094. Overall, it will be the third largest and darkest lunar eclipse of the 21st century. While it will have similar values to the lunar eclipse of July 16, 2000, totality will not last over 106 minutes due to the moon's relatively large apparent size as seen from Earth and greater speed in its elliptical orbit. Totality's expected to last 100 minutes 34 seconds from 9:11:39 to 10:52:15 with the greatest point at 10:01:57 UTC.
A penumbral lunar eclipse took place on Wednesday, February 21, 1951. This was 6.4 days after the Moon reached apogee.
A total lunar eclipse took place on Sunday, July 26, 1953.
A total penumbral lunar eclipse is a lunar eclipse that occurs when the Moon becomes completely immersed in the penumbral cone of the Earth without touching the umbra.
A total lunar eclipse will take place on September 19, 2043.
A total lunar eclipse will take place on March 13, 2044.
A total lunar eclipse will take place on March 25, 2043.
A total lunar eclipse will take place on April 26, 2051.
Saros cycle series 129 for lunar eclipses occurs at the moon's descending node, repeats every 18 years 11+1/3 days. The 129th lunar saros is associated with Solar Saros 136.
Saros cycle series 101 for lunar eclipses occurred at the moon's descending node, 18 years 11 and 1/3 days. It contained 72 events.
Saros cycle series 102 for lunar eclipses occurred at the moon's ascending node, 18 years 11 and 1/3 days. It contained 84 events.
Saros cycle series 103 for lunar eclipses occurred at the moon's descending node, 18 years 11 and 1/3 days. It contained at least 82 events.
Saros cycle series 104 for lunar eclipses occurred at the moon's ascending node, 18 years 11 and 1/3 days. It contained 72 events.
A penumbral lunar eclipse will occur on November 8, 2060. It will be too small to be visually perceptible.
