Solar Saros 117 Explained

Saros cycle series 117 for solar eclipses occurs at the Moon's ascending node, repeating every 18 years, 11 days, containing 71 eclipses, including 56 umbral eclipses (23 annular, 5 hybrid, 28 total). The first eclipse in this series was on June 24, 792 AD. The final eclipse in this series will be on August 3, 2054. The most recent eclipse was a partial eclipse on 13 July 2018 and the next one will be a partial eclipse on 23 July 2036.

The longest totality was 4 minutes 19 seconds on 26 April 1892, the longest annular was 9 minutes 26 seconds on 3 December 1062.

This solar saros is linked to Lunar Saros 110.

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 117 appears in the following table.

Classification	Number	Percent
All Umbral eclipses	56	100.00%
Central (two limits)	54	96.43%
Central (one limit)	1	1.79%
Non-central (one limit)	1	1.79%

All eclipses
