Saros series
This eclipse is a part of Saros cycle 136, and the first of the series that passes through the center of the Earth's shadow. The last occurrence was on 28 October 2004. The next occurrence will happen on 18 November 2040.
Half-Saros cycle
A lunar eclipse will be preceded and followed by solar eclipses by 9 years and 5.5 days (a half saros).[1] This lunar eclipse is related to two hybrid solar eclipses of Solar Saros 143.

Metonic series
This eclipse is the third of four Metonic cycle lunar eclipses on the same date, 8–9 November:
The Metonic cycle repeats nearly exactly every 19 years and represents a Saros cycle plus one lunar year. Because it occurs on the same calendar date, the Earth's shadow will be in nearly the same location relative to the background stars.
