Saros Series 133 — 469 Years of Lunar Eclipses and Historical Events
469 years of history. 27 eclipses. A pattern spanning centuries.
Saros Series 133 is a long series of lunar eclipses covering approximately 1,262 years (69 eclipses, 1557–2819). This study examines world events within a one-month window around each eclipse, from the first penumbral graze of 1557 to the deep totalities of the 21st century.
This article is a summary of the full research. For the detailed study with individual analyses of each eclipse, Tajika aspects, and historical correlations:
Series Progression
The series begins with seven penumbral eclipses (1557–1665), where the Moon barely grazed the Earth's outer shadow — invisible to the naked eye. The partial eclipses deepen from #8 (1683) to #20 (1899), each biting a little further into the shadow. Totality begins at #21 (1917) and becomes increasingly spectacular with each cycle.
