Solar Saros 141 Explained

Saros cycle series 141 for solar eclipses occurs at the Moon's ascending node, repeats every 18 years, 11 days containing 70 eclipses, 41 of which are umbral (all annular). The first eclipse in this series was on 19 May 1613 and the last will be on 23 June 2857. The most recent eclipse was an annular eclipse on 15 January 2010 and the next will be an annular eclipse on 26 January 2028. This series contains only annular eclipses from 4 August 1739 through 14 October 2460, with no total or hybrid eclipses.^[1]

Longest annular solar eclipse: 14 December 1955 - 12 minutes, 9 seconds

Smallest annular solar eclipse: 24 December 1973 - magnitude: 0.9174

This solar saros is linked to Lunar Saros 134.

Umbral eclipses

Umbral eclipses can be 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 141 appears in the following table.

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