Saros cycle series 121 for solar eclipses occurs at the Moon's ascending node, repeating every 18 years, 11 days, containing 71 eclipses. 55 of these are umbral eclipses (42 total, 2 hybrid, and 11 annular). The first eclipse in the series was on 25 April 944 and the last will be on 7 June 2206. The most recent eclipse was an annular eclipse on 7 February 2008 and the next will be an annular eclipse on 17 February 2026.
The longest totality was 6 minutes 20 seconds on 21 June 1692, the longest annular will be 2 minutes 27 seconds on February 28, 2044 and the longest hybrid eclipse was 30 seconds on 20 October 1827.
This solar saros is linked to Lunar Saros 114.
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 121 appears in the following table.
Classification | Number | Percent |
---|---|---|
All Umbral eclipses | 55 | 100.00% |
Central (two limits) | 54 | 98.18% |
Central (one limit) | 1 | 1.82% |
Non-central (one limit) | 0 | 0.00% |
