Saros Series 133 Information
A total lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon moves completely into the Earth′s shadow, causing the Moon to have a somewhat darkened appearance. In technical terms, this celestial event occurs when the Moon′s nearest side passes in totality within the
Earth′s umbral shadow.
All lunar eclipses of this lunar saros series occurs at the Moon′s descending node, repeats every 18 years and 11 days, contains 71 events, which saros series started with a penumbral lunar eclipse on 13 May 1557. The greatest eclipse of this series with the longest duration of totality, member number 35, will occur on 30 May 2170, which total eclipse will last for 101 minutes and 41 seconds.
This saros series contains partial eclipses from August 7, 1683 through December 17, 1899; total eclipses from December 28, 1917 through August 3, 2278; and a second set of partial eclipses from August 14, 2296 through March 11, 2639.

Eclipses: Lunar Compared to Solar
Unlike a solar eclipse, which can only be viewed from a relatively small area of the world, a lunar eclipse may be viewed from anywhere on the night side of Earth.
A total lunar eclipse can last up to nearly two hours, while a total solar eclipse lasts only a few minutes at any given place, because the Moon′s shadow is smaller.
