Lunar Saros series 156, has 80 lunar eclipses. Solar Saros 163 interleaves with this lunar saros with an event occurring every 9 years 5 days alternating between each saros series.
This eclipse series will begin in AD 2421 with a partial eclipse at the northern edge of the Earth's shadow. Each successive Saros cycle, the Moon's orbital path is shifted northward with respect to the Earth's shadow, with the first total eclipse occurring in 2565. For the following 469 years, total eclipses occur, with the first central eclipse being predicted to occur in 2655. The first partial eclipse after this is predicted to occur in the year 3052, and the final partial eclipse of the series will occur in 3142.[3] The total lifetime of the lunar Saros series 131 is 1442.4 years.[4] Solar Saros 138 interleaves with this lunar saros with an event occurring every 9 years 5 days alternating between each saros series.
Because of the ⅓ fraction of days in a Saros cycle, the visibility of each eclipse will differ for an observer at a given fixed locale. Solar Saros 163 interleaves with this lunar saros with an event occurring every 9 years 5 days alternating between each saros series.
Lunar Saros series 156, repeating every 18 years and 11 days, has a total of 80 lunar eclipse events including 41 umbral lunar eclipses (14 partial lunar eclipses and 27 total lunar eclipses). Solar Saros 163 interleaves with this lunar saros with an event occurring every 9 years 5 days alternating between each saros series.
