Eclipse cycle

Not to be confused with Saros Cycle.
Paths of partiality, annularity, hybridity, and totality for Solar Saros Series 136. The interval between successive eclipses in the series is one saros, approximately 18 years.

Eclipses may occur repeatedly, separated by certain intervals of time: these intervals are called eclipse cycles.[1] The series of eclipses separated by a repeat of one of these intervals is called an eclipse series.
