Solar Saros 122 Explained

Saros cycle series 122 for solar eclipses occurs at the Moon's descending node, repeating every 18 years, 11 days, containing 70 eclipses, 42 of which are umbral (3 total, 2 hybrid, and 37 annular). The first eclipse was on 17 April 991 and the last will be on 17 May 2235. The most recent eclipse was a partial eclipse on 6 January 2019 and the next will be a partial eclipse on 16 January 2037.

The longest totality was 1 minute 25 seconds on 12 July 1135, the longest annular was 6 minutes 28 seconds on 10 October 1874, and the longest hybrid was 43 seconds on 13 August 1189.

This solar saros is linked to Lunar Saros 115.

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 122 appears in the following table.

Classification	Number	Percent
All Umbral eclipses	42	100.00%
Central (two limits)	41	97.62%
Central (one limit)	1	2.38%
Non-central (one limit)	0	0.00%

All eclipses

Note: Dates are given in the Julian calendar prior to 15 October 1582, and in the Gregorian calendar after that.
