Solar Saros 136
Introduction Animated path of entire Saros.April 25, 1865.Series member 29An artist's depiction of the total solar eclipse of May 6, 1883, observed from Caroline Atoll, Line Islands. Series member 30The total solar eclipse of May 29, 1919, observed from the island of Principe. Positions of star images within the field near the Sun were used to verify Albert Einstein's prediction of the bending of light around the Sun from his general theory of relativity. Series member 32Total solar eclipse of July 11, 1991 from Costa Rica. Series member 36Total solar eclipse of July 22, 2009 from Bangladesh. Series member 37'''Saros cycle series 136 for solar eclipses''' occurs at the Moon's descending node, repeating every 18 years, 11 days, containing 71 events. All eclipses in this series occurs at the Moon's descending node.This solar saros is linked to Lunar Saros 129. '''Solar Saros 136''' is for now producing the longest total solar eclipses. It produced the six longest total solar eclipses of the 20th century, three of them over seven minutes long. It also produced the longest total eclipse of the 21st century at 6 min 38.86 sec, and overall will produce the century's three longest total eclipses. Each eclipse is getting slightly shorter and this series will be surpassed in total eclipse length by Solar Saros 139 (whose eclipses are getting slightly longer) on May 11, 2078.Saros 136 in turn surpassed the previous longest-eclipse series, Saros 133, with its member event on May 18th, 1901.Saros 136 will ultimately produce a total of 44 total eclipses. It produced the most central total eclipse between the years 1209 and 2718 and the greatest magnitude of any eclipse since the year 540 on July 11, 1991.All eclipses in this series occurs at the Moon's descending node. Solar Saros 136 contains 71 events in which of 15 will be partial eclipses, 6 will be annular, 6 will be hybrid and 44 will be total.Solar Saros 136 repeats every 18 years, 11 days, 8 hours. Solar Saros 136 contains 71 events in which of 15 will be partial eclipses and 56 will be umbral eclipses (6 annular, 6 hybrid, 44 total).
Solar Saros 136 Occurred at the Moon's descending node, the same for Solar Saros 134 and 138.
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 136 appears in the following table.ClassificationNumberPercentAll Umbral eclipses56100.00%Central (two limits)56100.00%Central (one limit)00.00%Non-central (one limit)00.00%
