Series member 37
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.
This solar saros is linked to Lunar Saros 129.
This eclipse is a part of Saros series 136, repeating every 18 years, 11 days, and containing 71 events. The series started with a partial solar eclipse on June 14, 1360. It contains annular eclipses from September 8, 1504 through November 12, 1594; hybrid eclipses from November 22, 1612 through January 17, 1703; and total eclipses from January 27, 1721 through May 13, 2496. The series ends at member 71 as a partial eclipse on July 30, 2622. Its eclipses are tabulated in three columns; every third eclipse in the same column is one exeligmos apart, so they all cast shadows over approximately the same parts of the Earth.
The longest duration of annularity was produced by member 9 at 32 seconds on September 8, 1504, and the longest duration of totality was produced by member 34 at 7 minutes, 7.74 seconds on June 20, 1955. All eclipses in this series occur at the Moon’s descending node of orbit.[2]
Series members 26–47 occur between 1801 and 2200: | ||

Solar Saros 136 is for now producing the longest total solar eclipses. It produced the six longest total solar eclipses of the 20th century, three of them over seven minutes long.[3] It also produced the longest total eclipse of the 21st century at 6 min 38.86 sec, and overall will produce the century's three longest total eclipses. Each eclipse is getting slightly shorter and this series will be surpassed in total eclipse length by Solar Saros 139 (whose eclipses are getting slightly longer) on May 11, 2078.[4] Saros 136 in turn surpassed the previous longest-eclipse series, Saros 133, with its member event on May 18th, 1901. Saros 136 will ultimately produce a total of 44 total eclipses. It produced the most central total eclipse between the years 1209 and 2718 and the greatest magnitude of any eclipse since the year 540 on July 11, 1991. All eclipses in this series occurs at the Moon's descending node. Solar Saros 136 contains 71 events in which of 15 will be partial eclipses, 6 will be annular, 6 will be hybrid and 44 will be total.
Solar Saros 136 repeats every 18 years, 11 days, 8 hours. Solar Saros 136 contains 71 events in which of 15 will be partial eclipses and 56 will be umbral eclipses (6 annular, 6 hybrid, 44 total).
Solar Saros 136
Occurred at the Moon's descending node, the same for Solar Saros 134 and 138.
Umbral eclipses
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 136 appears in the following table.
Classification | Number | Percent |
---|---|---|
All Umbral eclipses | 56 | 100.00% |
Central (two limits) | 56 | 100.00% |
Central (one limit) | 0 | 0.00% |
Non-central (one limit) | 0 | 0.00% |
