Solar Saros 150 Explained

Saros cycle series 150 for solar eclipses occurs at the Moon's descending node, repeating every 18 years, 11 days, containing 71 eclipses, 40 of which are umbral (all annular). The first eclipse in the series was on 24 August 1729 and the last will be on 29 September 2991. The most recent eclipse was a partial eclipse on 15 February 2018 and the next will be a partial eclipse on 27 February 2036. The longest duration of annularity will be 9 minutes, 58 seconds on December 19, 2522.

This solar saros is linked to Lunar Saros 143.

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 150 appears in the following table.

Classification	Number	Percent
All Umbral eclipses	40	100.00%
Central (two limits)	39	97.50%
Central (one limit)	0	0.00%
Non-central (one limit)	1	2.50%
