It was preceded by the partial solar eclipse last January 4, 2011, and the partial solar eclipse that occurred on June 1, 2011.

Lunar year (354 days)

This eclipse is the center of five lunar eclipses in a short-lived series. The lunar year series repeats after 12 lunations or 354 days (Shifting back about 10 days in sequential years). Because of the date shift, the Earth's shadow will be about 11 degrees west in sequential events.

Saros series

Lunar saros series 130, repeating every 18 years and 11 days, has a total of 72 lunar eclipse events including 14 total lunar eclipses.

Tritos series

This series produces 23 total eclipses between June 22, 1880 and August 9, 2120.

Inex series

The inex series repeats eclipses 20 days short of 29 years, repeating on average every 10571.95 days. This period is equal to 358 lunations (synodic months) and 388.5 draconic months. Saros series increment by one on successive Inex events and repeat at alternate ascending and descending lunar nodes.

This period is 383.6734 anomalistic months (the period of the Moon's elliptical orbital precession). Despite the average 0.05 time-of-day shift between subsequent events, the variation of the Moon in its elliptical orbit at each event causes the actual eclipse time to vary significantly.

All events in this series listed below and more are total lunar eclipses.
