The first total eclipse occurred on December 21, 1843, over southern Asia and lasted 1 minute and 43 seconds. The last total eclipse will occur on March 26, 2601, over Antarctica and the Southern Ocean, lasting 35 seconds.
This series is currently producing total eclipses over 4 minutes long, with each one gradually increasing in length. It will continue to do so until 16 July 2186, when it will produce the longest total eclipse calculated for the ten millennia from 3999 BCE to 6000 CE.[1] Starting on May 11, 2078, Saros 139 will begin producing the longest total eclipses of any series, surpassing those of Solar Saros 136, whose eclipses are getting slightly shorter.[2]
This solar saros is linked to Lunar Saros 132.
