Solar Saros 116

Saros cycle series 116 for solar eclipses occurred at the Moon's descending node, repeating every 18 years, 11 days, containing 70 eclipses, 53 of which were umbral (all annular). The first eclipse was on 23 June 727 and the last eclipse was on 22 July 1971, making it the last saros cycle to end. (Next cycle to end is Saros 117, which will have its last eclipse in 2054.)

The longest eclipse was 12 minutes 2 seconds on 25 December 1628.

This solar saros was linked to Lunar Saros 109.

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 116 appears in the following table.

Classification	Number	Percent
All Umbral eclipses	53	100.00%
Central (two limits)	52	98.11%
Central (one limit)	1	1.89%
Non-central (one limit)	0	0.00%

All eclipses
