Saros cycle The saros () is a period of exactly 223 synodic months, 18 years 11 days and 8 hours, that can be used to predict eclipses of the Sun and Moon. One saros period after an eclipse, the Sun, Earth, and Moon return to approximately the same relative g ...

, repeating every 18 years, 11 days, containing 71 eclipses, 56 of which will be umbral (33 total, 3 hybrid, and 20 annular). The first eclipse in the series was on 17 June 1928 and the last will be on 24 July 3190. The most recent eclipse was a partial eclipse on 11 August 2018 and the next will be a partial eclipse on 21 August 2036. The longest totality will be 4 minutes 5 seconds on 6 November 2162 and the longest annular will be 5 minutes 31 seconds on 28 April 3046.

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 155 appears in the following table.
