Solar Saros 129 Explained

Saros cycle series 129 for solar eclipses occurs at the Moon's ascending node, repeating every 18 years, 11 days, containing 80 eclipses, 41 of which are umbral (29 annular, 3 hybrid, 9 total). The first eclipse in the series was on 3 October 1103 and the last will be on 21 February 2528. The most recent eclipse was a hybrid eclipse on 20 April 2023 and the next will be a total eclipse on 30 April 2041.
