Solar Saros 124 Explained

Saros cycle series 124 for solar eclipses occurs at the Moon's descending node, repeating every 18 years, 11 days, containing 73 eclipses, 44 of which are umbral (43 total and 1 hybrid). The first eclipse in the series was on 6 March 1049 and the last will be on 11 May 2347. The most recent eclipse was a partial eclipse on 25 October 2022 and the next will be a partial eclipse on 4 November 2040.

The longest totality was 5 minutes 46 seconds on 3 May 1734.

This solar saros is linked to Lunar Saros 117.

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 124 appears in the following table.

Classification	Number	Percent
All Umbral eclipses	44	100.00%
Central (two limits)	44	100.00%
Central (one limit)	0	0.00%
Non-central (one limit)	0	0.00%

All eclipses
