title: Solar eclipse of October 25, 2041
text: # Solar eclipse of October 25, 2041
  
  An annular solar eclipse will occur on Friday, October 25, 2041. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partly obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth. An annular solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is smaller than the Sun's, blocking most of the Sun's light and causing the Sun to look like an annulus (ring). An annular eclipse appears as a partial eclipse over a region of the Earth thousands of kilometres wide.

  ### Solar eclipses of 2040–2043
  
  This eclipse is a member of a semester series. An eclipse in a semester series of solar eclipses repeats approximately every 177 days and 4 hours (a semester) at alternating nodes of the Moon's orbit.
  
  Solar eclipse series sets from 2040–2043 :

  ### Saros 134
  
  It is a part of Saros cycle 134, repeating every 18 years, 11 days, containing 71 events. The series started with partial solar eclipse on June 22, 1248. It contains total eclipses from October 9, 1428 through December 24, 1554 and hybrid eclipses from January 3, 1573 through June 27, 1843, and annular eclipses from July 8, 1861 through May 21, 2384. The series ends at member 71 as a partial eclipse on August 6, 2510. The longest duration of totality was 1 minutes, 30 seconds on October 9, 1428. All eclipses in this series occurs at the Moon’s descending node.

  ### Inex Series
  
  This eclipse is a part of the long period inex cycle, repeating at alternating nodes, every 358 synodic months (≈ 10,571.95 days, or 29 years minus 20 days). Their appearance and longitude are irregular due to a lack of synchronization with the anomalistic month (period of perigee). However, groupings of 3 inex cycles (≈ 87 years minus 2 months) comes close (≈ 1,151.02 anomalistic months), so eclipses are similar in these groupings.
  
  Inex series members between 1901 and 2100: :
  
  | January 14, 1926 (Saros 130) | December 25, 1954 (Saros 131) | December 4, 1983 (Saros 132) |
  | - | - | - |
  | November 13, 2012 (Saros 133) | October 25, 2041 (Saros 134) | October 4, 2070 (Saros 135) |
  | September 14, 2099 (Saros 136) | |
  
  ### Metonic cycle
  
  The metonic series repeats eclipses every 19 years (6939.69 days), lasting about 5 cycles. Eclipses occur in nearly the same calendar date. In addition, the octon subseries repeats 1/5 of that or every 3.8 years (1387.94 days). All eclipses in this table occur at the Moon's descending node.
  
  21 eclipse events between June 1, 2011 and June 1, 2087 :
