Solar Saros 140 Explained

Saros cycle series 140 for solar eclipses occurs at the Moon's descending node, repeating every 18 years, 11 days, containing 71 eclipses, including 47 umbral eclipses (11 total, 4 hybrid, 32 annular). The first eclipse in this series was on 16 April 1512 and the last will be on 1 June 2774. The most recent eclipse was an annular eclipse on 26 February 2017 and the next will be an annular eclipse on 9 March 2035.

The longest duration of totality was 4 minutes, 10 seconds on August 12, 1692 while the longest annular eclipse will be 7 minutes 35 seconds on 15 November 2449.

This solar saros is linked to Lunar Saros 133.

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 140 appears in the following table.

Classification	Number	Percent
All Umbral eclipses	47	100.00%
Central (two limits)	43	91.49%
Central (one limit)	1	2.13%
Non-central (one limit)	3	6.38%

All eclipses

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