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 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 August 7, 2036. The moon will pass through the center of the Earth's shadow. This is the last central lunar eclipse of Saros cycle 129.
A total lunar eclipse will take place on 16 May 2022, the first of two total lunar eclipses in 2022, the second being on 8 November.
A total lunar eclipse took place on August 6, 1971. The moon passed through the center of the Earth's shadow.
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.

An annular solar eclipse occurred on June 10, 2002. 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 in Indonesia, Palau, Northern Mariana on June 11th (Tuesday), and the western tip of Jalisco, Mexico on June 10th (Monday).
An annular solar eclipse will occur on Friday, 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.
