Saros cycle series 135 for solar eclipses occurs at the Moon's ascending node, repeating every 18 years, 11 days, containing 71 eclipses, including 53 umbral eclipses (45 annular, 2 hybrid, 6 total). The longest duration of totality will be 2 minutes, 27 seconds on May 12, 2431 while the longest annular was 10 minutes 14 seconds on 24 December 1601.
This solar saros is linked to Lunar Saros 128.
This series included the smallest annular solar eclipse in the 2nd millennium on 24 December 1601, with an eclipse magnitude of only 0.90785, just 0.002% larger than the solar eclipse of 12 November 1683 BCE, which was the smallest annular solar eclipse of thousands of years, with an eclipse magnitude of only 0.90783.
The factors that made this such a small annular solar eclipse were:
Umbral eclipses (annular, total and hybrid) can be further classified as either: 1) Central (two limits), 2) Central (one limit) or 3) Non-Central (one limit). The statistical distribution of these classes in Saros series 135 appears in the following table.
Classification | Number | Percent |
---|---|---|
All Umbral eclipses | 53 | 100.00% |
Central (two limits) | 51 | 96.23% |
Central (one limit) | 1 | 1.89% |
Non-central (one limit) | 1 | 1.89% |

An annular solar eclipse occurred on May 9, 1948. 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. Annularity was visible from Car Nicobar, the northernmost of the Nicobar Islands, and Burma, Thailand including Bangkok, French Indochina, North Vietnam, China, South Korea, Rebun Island in Japan, Kuril Islands in the Soviet Union on May 9, and Alaska on May 8. It was the first central solar eclipse visible from Bangkok from 1948 to 1958, where it is rare for a large city to witness 4 central solar eclipses in 10 years. The moon's apparent diameter was only 0.006% smaller than the Sun's, so this was an annular solar eclipse that occurred on May 9, 1948. Occurring 7.1 days after apogee and 6.6 days before perigee, the Moon's apparent diameter was near the average diameter.
