, a period, roughly every six months, when eclipses occur. Only two (or occasionally three) eclipse seasons occur each year, and each season lasts about 35 days and repeats just short of six months (173 days) later; thus two full eclipse seasons always occur each year. Either two or three eclipses happen each eclipse season. In the sequence below, each eclipse is separated by a

Saros 158

This eclipse is a part of Saros series 158, repeating every 18 years, 11 days, and containing 70 events. The series will start with a partial solar eclipse on May 20, 2069. It contains total eclipses from August 5, 2195 through August 13, 2808; hybrid eclipses on August 24, 2826 and September 3, 2844; and annular eclipses from September 15, 2862 through February 27, 3133.
