以最大月食为中心,这两个月全食序列看起来几乎完全相同。然而,上面显示的是2008年2月拍摄的照片,而下面显示的是最近2026年3月的月全食。为什么它们如此相似?因为这两次月全食来自同一个沙罗周期。沙罗周期是在历史上通过对月球轨道的观测发现的。这个周期的周期为18年11又1/3天,它预测了太阳、地球和月球什么时候会回到相同的相对几何形状,从而发生月食(或日食)。间隔一个沙罗周期的日食属于相同编号的沙罗系列,在这种情况下是沙罗133。因此,预计沙罗133的下一次月食将是今年3月3日月食的重复。你可以在2044年3月13日观看下一次沙罗133月全食。成长画廊:3月3日的月全食

Centered on maximum eclipse, these two total lunar eclipse sequences look almost identical. Yet the one shown on top is composed of images recorded in February 2008, while at the bottom is the recent March 2026 total eclipse of the Moon. Why are they so similar? Because these two total lunar eclipses are from the same Saros cycle. The Saros cycle was discovered historically from observations of the Moon's orbit. With a period of 18 years, 11 and 1/3 days, the cycle predicts when the Sun, Earth, and Moon all return to the same relative geometry for a lunar (or solar) eclipse. Eclipses separated by one Saros period belong to the same numbered Saros series, in this case Saros 133. So expect the next lunar eclipse in Saros 133 to be a repeat of this year's March 3 eclipse. You can watch the next Saros 133 total lunar eclipse on March 13, 2044. Growing Gallery: Total Lunar Eclipse of March 3
