The Saros cycle series 120 for solar eclipses occurs at the Moon's descending node, repeating every 18 years, 11 days, containing 71 eclipses, including 55 umbral eclipses. The series started on 27 May 933 and will end on 7 July 2195. It included 25 annular eclipses between 1059 and 1492, followed by 4 hybrid eclipses between 1510 and 1564, and is currently in a period of 26 total eclipses until 2033. The most recent eclipse was a total eclipse on 20 March 2015 and the next will be a total eclipse on 30 March 2033 (which will also be the last total eclipse of the series). The longest duration of totality was 2 minutes, 50 seconds on 9 March 1997 and the longest annular eclipse was 6 minutes 24 seconds on 11 September 1113.
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 120 appears in the following table.
