The saros is a period of exactly 223 synodic months 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 took place on May 4, 2004, the first of two total lunar eclipses in 2004, the second being on October 28, 2004.
A total lunar eclipse took place at 0308 UT (GMT) on August 17, 1989, the second of two total lunar eclipses in 1989.
A total lunar eclipse will take place on May 26, 2040. The moon will pass through the center of the Earth's shadow.
A total lunar eclipse will take place on 16 May 2022, the first of two total lunar eclipses in 2022, and the second will happen on 8 November.
A total lunar eclipse took place on April 24, 1986, the first of two total lunar eclipses in 1986, the second being on October 17, 1986.
A total lunar eclipse will take place on September 7, 2025. The Moon will pass through the center of the Earth's shadow. This is the last central lunar eclipse of Lunar Saros 128.
A total lunar eclipse took place on April 13, 1968, the first of two total eclipses in 1968, the second being on October 6, 1968. The tables below contain detailed predictions and additional information on the Total Lunar Eclipse of April 13, 1968.
A total lunar eclipse took place on April 2, 1950. This was the first total lunar eclipse of Saros cycle 131.
A total lunar eclipse will take place on September 19, 2043.
A partial solar eclipse occurred on July 1, 2011. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partly obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth. A partial solar eclipse occurs in the polar regions of the Earth when the center of the Moon's shadow misses the Earth. This is the first solar eclipse of Saros series 156, only visible as a partial solar eclipse in a small area south of South Africa and north of Antarctica. At greatest eclipse, the magnitude was just 0.097. It is the first new saros series to begin since saros 155 began with the partial solar eclipse of June 17, 1928. The eclipse belonged to Saros 156 and was number 1 of 69 eclipses in the series. Thus, the 2011 Jul 01 event was the first eclipse of the series.
An annular solar eclipse will occur on November 4, 2078. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partly obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth. An annular solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is smaller than the Sun's, blocking most of the Sun's light and causing the Sun to look like an annulus (ring). An annular eclipse appears as a partial eclipse over a region of the Earth thousands of kilometres wide. The path of annularity will cross Pacific Ocean, South America, and Atlantic Ocean. The tables below contain detailed predictions and additional information on the Annular Solar Eclipse of 4 November 2078.
Saros cycle series 156 for solar eclipses occurs at the Moon's descending node, repeating every 18 years, 11 days, containing 69 events, with 55 listed before 3000 AD. All eclipses in this series occurs at the Moon’s descending node.

Solar saros 134 interleaves with this lunar saros with an event occurring every 9 years 5 days alternating between each saros series. It consisted with 10 penumbral eclipses, 21 partial eclipses, 11 total eclipses, 21 partial eclipses, and ends with 8 penumbral eclipses.
A penumbral lunar eclipse will occur on November 8, 2060. It will be too small to be visually perceptible.
