A total solar eclipse will occur on July 5, 2168. 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. Lasting a maximum of 7 minutes, 26 seconds, it will be the longest eclipse since the 11th century, which lasted 7 minutes and 20 seconds, as well with the next two occurrences. This is the largest total solar eclipse of Saros 139. Greatest Eclipse occurs 1,468 km (912 mi) north of the Equator.

Extreme magnitude

With an eclipse magnitude of 1.0807, this is the largest total solar eclipse in the millennium, also the largest total solar eclipse in Solar Saros 139.

Saros 139

It is a part of saros series 139, repeating every 18 years, 11 days, 8 hours, containing 71 events. The series started with partial solar eclipse on May 17, 1501. It contains hybrid eclipses on August 11, 1627 through to December 9, 1825 and total eclipses from December 21, 1843 through to March 26, 2601. The series ends at member 71 as a partial eclipse on July 3, 2763. Its eclipses are entabulated in three columns; each one in the same column, every third eclipse, is one exeligmos apart so cast shadows over approximately the same parts of the earth.

The solar eclipse of June 13, 2132 will be the longest total solar eclipse since July 11, 1991 at 6 minutes, 55.02 seconds.

The longest duration of totality will be produced by member 39 at 7 minutes, 29.22 seconds on July 16, 2186. [1] After that date each duration will decrease, until the series end. This date is the longest solar eclipse computed between 4000BC and 6000AD. [2] Saros series eclipses are during the Moon’s ascending node (a term related to our equator and polar-naming conventions).

Series members 24–45 occur between 1901 and 2300
