Solar Saros 142 Explained

Saros cycle series 142 for solar eclipses occurs at the Moon's descending node, repeating every 18 years, 11 days, containing 72 eclipses, 44 of which are umbral, of which all but one are total. The first eclipse in the series was on 17 April 1624 and the final eclipse will be on 5 June 2904.

The longest totality will be 6 minutes 34 seconds on 28 May, 2291. The series is currently producing short total eclipses. The most recent eclipse was a total eclipse on 14 December 2020 and the next will be a total eclipse on 2038 December 26.

This solar saros is linked to Lunar Saros 135.
