Saros cycle series 137 for solar eclipses occurs at the Moon's ascending node. It repeats every 18 years, 11 days, and contains 70 eclipses, 55 of which are umbral eclipses. The first eclipse in the series was on 25 May 1389 and the last will be on 28 June 2633. The most recent eclipse was an annular eclipse on 21 June 2020 and the next will be an annular eclipse on 2 July 2038. The longest duration of totality was 2 minutes, 55 seconds on September 10, 1569 and the longest annular eclipse will be 7 minutes 5 seconds on 28 February 2435. This series has an unusual order of umbral eclipses, with 10 total eclipses followed by 6 hybrid eclipses, 4 annular eclipses, 3 more hybrid eclipses, and then finally 32 annular eclipses.
