Solar Saros 146 Explained

Saros cycle series 146 for solar eclipses occurs at the Moon's descending node, repeating every 18 years, 11 days, containing 76 eclipses, 41 of which are umbral (13 annular, 4 hybrid, and 24 total). The first eclipse of the series was on 19 September 1541 and the last will be on 29 December 2893. The most recent eclipse was a total eclipse on 11 July 2010 and the next will be a total eclipse on 22 July 2028.

The longest duration of totality was 5 minutes 21 seconds on 30 June 1992 and the longest annular eclipse will be 3 minutes 30 seconds on 10 August 2659.

Umbral eclipses began with a series of total eclipses from 29 May 1938 through 7 October 2154, followed by hybrid eclipses from 17 October 2172 to 20 November 2226, and finally annular eclipses from 30 November 2244 through 10 August 2659.

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 146 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%

All eclipses

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