Saros cycle series 139 for solar eclipses occurs at the Moon's ascending node, repeating every 18 years and 11 days, containing 71 events. It has 16 partial solar eclipses, 12 will be hybrid and 43 will be total. 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. It will continue to do so until July 16, 2186, when it will produce the longest total eclipse calculated for the ten millennia from 3999 BCE to 6000 CE. [1] Starting on May 11, 2078, Saros 139 will begin producing the longest total eclipses of any series, surpassing those of Solar Saros 136, whose eclipses are getting slightly shorter. [2] The latest eclipse in this series to occur was a total eclipse on April 8, 2024, lasting 4 minutes 28 seconds over central North America, entering in Mexico, crossing the United States, and leaving in eastern Canada. The next eclipse will occur on April 20, 2042, lasting 4 minutes 51 seconds over the western Pacific Ocean and passing over western Indonesia, eastern Malaysia, Brunei, and the Philippines. All eclipses in this series occurs at the Moon's ascending node.
This solar saros is linked to Lunar Saros 132.
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 139 appears in the following table.
Classification | Number | Percent |
---|---|---|
All Umbral eclipses | 55 | 100.00% |
Central (two limits) | 55 | 100.00% |
Central (one limit) | 0 | 0.00% |
Non-central (one limit) | 0 | 0.00% |

A total solar eclipse occurred on March 29, 2006. 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 total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is larger than the Sun's, blocking all direct sunlight, turning day into darkness. Totality occurs in a narrow path across Earth's surface, with the partial solar eclipse visible over a surrounding region thousands of kilometres wide. It was visible from a narrow corridor which traversed half the Earth. The magnitude, that is, the ratio between the apparent sizes of the Moon and that of the Sun, was 1.052, and it was part of Saros 139.
A total lunar eclipse took place on Sunday 16 July 2000, the second of two total lunar eclipses in 2000.

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.
Saros cycle series 119 for solar eclipses occurs at the Moon's ascending node, repeating every 18 years, 11 days, containing 71 events. All eclipses in this series occurs at the Moon's ascending node.
Saros cycle series 133 for solar eclipses occurs at the Moon's ascending node, repeating every 18 years, 11 days, containing 72 events. All eclipses in this series occur at the Moon's ascending node.
Saros cycle series 136 for solar eclipses occurs at the Moon's descending node, repeating every 18 years, 11 days, containing 71 events. All eclipses in this series occurs at the Moon's descending node.
Saros cycle series 145 for solar eclipses occurs at the Moon's ascending node, repeating every 18 years, 11 days, containing 77 events. It is currently a young cycle producing total eclipses less than 3 minutes in length. The series started with a partial solar eclipse on January 4, 1639, and reached a first annular eclipse on June 6, 1891. It was a hybrid event on June 17, 1909, and total eclipses from June 29, 1927, through September 9, 2648. The series ends at member 77 as a partial eclipse on April 17, 3009. The longest duration eclipse in the cycle will be member 50 at 7 minutes and 12 seconds in length on June 25, 2522, after which the durations of eclipses will decrease until the end of the cycle. In its central phase it will produce mainly total eclipses. All eclipses in this series occur at the Moon's ascending node.
An annular solar eclipse occurred on December 2, 1937. 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 Ogasawara, Tokyo and South Seas Mandate in Japan, and Gilbert and Ellice Islands.
