Solar Saros 123 Explained

Saros cycle series 123 for solar eclipses occurs at the Moon's ascending node, repeating every 18 years, 11 days, containing 70 eclipses, 44 of which are umbral (27 annular, 3 hybrid, 14 total). The first eclipse in the series was on 29 April 1074 and the last will be on 31 May 2318. The most recent eclipse was a partial eclipse on 25 November 2011 and the next will be a partial eclipse on 5 December 2029.

The longest totality was 3 minutes 27 seconds on 27 July 1813, the longest annular was 8 minutes 7 seconds on 9 November 1398, and the longest hybrid eclipse was 1 minute 32 seconds on 22 May 1705.

This solar saros is linked to Lunar Saros 116.

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 123 appears in the following table.

Classification	Number	Percent
All Umbral eclipses	44	100.00%
Central (two limits)	42	95.45%
Central (one limit)	1	2.27%
Non-central (one limit)	1	2.27%

All eclipses

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