Saros cycle series 140 for solar eclipses occurs at the Moon's descending node, repeating every 18 years, 11 days, containing 71 eclipses, including 47 umbral eclipses (11 total, 4 hybrid, 32 annular). The first eclipse in this series was on 16 April 1512 and the last will be on 1 June 2774. The most recent eclipse was an annular eclipse on 26 February 2017 and the next will be an annular eclipse on 9 March 2035.

The longest duration of totality was 4 minutes, 10 seconds on August 12, 1692 while the longest annular eclipse will be 7 minutes 35 seconds on 15 November 2449.

This solar saros is linked to Lunar Saros 133.

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 140 appears in the following table.

Classification	Number	Percent
All Umbral eclipses	47	100.00%
Central (two limits)	43	91.49%
Central (one limit)	1	2.13%
Non-central (one limit)	3	6.38%

All eclipses
